Defense technology company Anduril Industries has announced a consortium to develop space-based interceptors for the U.S. Space Force as part of the Golden Dome for America missile defense initiative. The consortium includes Impulse Space, Inversion Space, K2 Space, Sandia National Laboratories, and Voyager Technologies. The Space-Based Interceptor (SBI) program deploys weapons in orbit, enabling the U.S. military to engage and destroy threats earlier in their flight path. The U.S. Space Force has awarded 12 companies contracts worth up to $3.2 billion to develop space-based missile defense interceptor systems. The goal is to demonstrate an integrated interceptor capability within the Golden Dome architecture by around 2028. Golden Dome plans to expand ground-based defenses and add space-based elements to detect and counter incoming threats from orbit.
