Space Force Pursues Constellation to Kill Enemy Missiles, But Experts Warn of Threats
The US Space Force is developing a constellation of space-based interceptors to kill enemy missiles, but experts warn that the interceptors themselves will need protection from various threats. The decision-making process for the SBI architecture is still unclear, and the use of stealth technologies and active measures may be necessary to ensure the system’s effectiveness. The development of SBIs is part of the Trump administration’s Golden Dome missile defense shield, which aims to protect against enemy nuclear missiles. The Space Force has issued a request for prototype proposals, but the unclassified version of the request has not been released to the public.
