President Donald Trump's 'Golden Dome' missile defense project will require a whole-of-government effort on par with the Manhattan Project to develop the atomic bomb, according to a Space Force general. The project aims to develop a missile defense system similar to Israel's Iron Dome to protect the U.S. from a range of threats, including hypersonic missiles and advanced cruise missiles. The project will require unprecedented cooperation across defense and intelligence agencies, as well as breaking down organizational barriers and cultures. Trump has requested Congress to fund the 'Golden Dome' missile defense shield.
