Salon Luncheon: Raft
Pioneering Collaboration for a New Era of Defense
The Golden Dome initiative is a bold missile-defense project designed to shield the U.S. from evolving threats such as ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles through a sophisticated, multi-layered defense system. Achieving this vision will require a monumental, coordinated effort, akin to the scale of the Manhattan Project, involving unprecedented collaboration across the defense, intelligence, space and beyond.
This panel will bring together experts from across industries to solve the hardest problems of turning Golden Dome into a reality. Discussions will focus on the integration of space-based sensors, advanced missile interceptors, and cutting-edge tracking technologies. We will delve into the key challenges of breaking down organizational silos, achieving coordination across agencies, and addressing policy barriers. Additionally, panelists will explore the need for expanded testing capabilities and the critical role the private sector plays in driving innovation to deliver this next-generation defense system.
