This is who’s developing Golden Dome’s orbital interceptors—if they’re ever built
The US Space Force released a list of 12 companies working on Space-Based Interceptors for the Pentagon's Golden Dome initiative, a multilayer defense system. The agreements have a combined value of up to $3.2 billion and will be used for early stage development and tech demos.
The US Space Force has awarded 20 contracts to 12 companies to develop Space-Based Interceptors for the Golden Dome initiative. The companies include Anduril Industries, Booz Allen Hamilton, General Dynamics Mission Systems, GITAI USA, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Quindar, Raytheon, Sci-Tec, SpaceX, True Anomaly, and Turion Space. The contracts, valued at up to $3.2 billion, will be used for early stage development and tech demos. The Space Force used an acquisition mechanism known as Other Transaction Authority agreements to bypass federal acquisition regulations. The contractors bring different skill sets to the program, including software expertise and space sensing technology. The agreements are not for full-scale production, which will come with a significantly higher price tag.
