Ready to Protect the Homeland
The Golden Dome initiative, established by President Trump’s Executive Order earlier this year, tasks the Department of War 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.

Editorial
To Protect the Nation, the Golden Dome Must Be Capable of Protecting Itself
Though rarely featured in public demonstrations of military capability, satellites are indispensable to the defense of America and its allies. They offer near-immediate warning of missile launches, enable strategic communications, and provide precise positioning and timing information for navigation and weapon guidance, to name just a few examples.
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 War 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.
