President Trump has revived the concept of a next-generation missile defense system under the banner 'Iron Dome for America,' harkening back to Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative. The initiative focuses on countering high-end threats from nations like Russia, China, and North Korea, which have developed advanced missiles. Experts warn, however, that these ambitions may face technical and financial hurdles, and create instability in nuclear dynamics. The project acknowledges evolving threats, particularly the challenge posed by hypersonic weapons, which traditional defenses struggle to intercept effectively.
Intercepting new hypersonic missiles with traditional missile defense systems is difficult due to their high speeds, irregular flight paths, and maneuverability.
President Trump's proposed 'Iron Dome for America' aims to counter advanced missile threats, emphasizing the need for space-based interceptors as per Reagan's SDI vision.
