The Golden Dome missile defense system, announced by President Trump in May 2025, aims to intercept various missile types and relies heavily on Greenland's strategic location for its operations. The system, inspired by Israel's Iron Dome and designed with a four-tier architecture, is projected to cost approximately $175 billion and achieve operational capability by 2028-2029, under the management of the U.S. Space Force and major contractors like Lockheed Martin and Boeing.
