Trump's national security directive aims to enhance the U.S. military's defense capabilities against missile and drone attacks. The administration's plan requires the Pentagon to develop a new missile defense architecture, focusing on space-based interceptors designed to neutralize threats during their initial launch phase. Referred to as an "Iron Dome for America," this initiative also encompasses defending against diverse aerial threats, including ballistic and advanced cruise missiles, while leaving implementation details to the military.
The United States will deter and defend its citizens and critical infrastructure against any foreign aerial attack on the homeland.
Trump's executive order calls for the Pentagon to come up with a design architecture, requirements, and an implementation plan for the next-generation missile defense shield.
