United States launches digital portal for $185B Golden Dome missile defense system

Golden Dome missile defense system defense technology Pentagon procurement innovation

The United States has launched a new digital portal, the Golden Dome for America Ecosystem Hub, to accelerate the development of its $185 billion Golden Dome missile defense system. Announced by Gen. Mike Guetlein at the annual Space and Missile Defense Symposium, the platform serves as a centralized contact point for defense contractors, technology start-ups, venture capitalists, universities, and researchers.

The portal, accessible at hub.goldendome.mil, allows industry partners to register, upload concepts, and submit designs directly to program decision-makers. By providing real-time, unclassified visibility into capability gaps, the Department of Defense aims to reduce bureaucratic red tape and bypass months of administrative delays that often stall critical technology deployment.

Guetlein emphasized that the initiative seeks to dismantle the barriers between commercial innovation and national defense, creating a shield capable of adapting faster than sophisticated, maneuvering aerial threats. The program intends to leverage commercially available technologies and market competition to manage costs and enhance the nation’s multi-layered defense capabilities.
