Powering the New Golden Dome for America

Ready to Protect the Homeland

The Golden Dome initiative, established by President Trump’s Executive Order earlier this year, tasks the Department of Defense with developing an advanced, multi-domain defense shield capable of detecting, tracking, intercepting and neutralizing evolved missile threats to the U.S. homeland. From left-of-launch to hit-to-kill, L3Harris stands ready to deliver critical capabilities now to make President Trump’s vision a reality.

L3Harris Delivers Advanced Offensive Space Capability to Space Force

L3Harris developed and recently delivered Meadowlands systems to the U.S. Space Force's Electromagnetic Warfare unit with additional units planned for distribution to various customer sites in the future.

Our Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor satellite, known as HBTSS, launched in February 2024 and is a proven on-orbit system capable of tracking maneuvering hypersonic missiles. This is expected to be a core component of the Golden Dome architecture. If we were to get an award in the next few months, we could launch enough satellites into orbit while President Trump is still in office, thereby having complete coverage of the U.S.

Multi-Domain, Layered Solutions

To create the Golden Dome for America, the Department of Defense needs mission-oriented industry partners with the breadth and scale to support this defense shield with global reach. L3Harris produces a range of proven technologies that enable a multi-domain, layered architecture, including satellites, datalinks, multi-domain ISR, precision fire-control sensing, propulsion and control systems for interceptors, as well as ballistic missile targets for testing.
