On Thursday, July 17, the Senate confirmed Gen. Mike Guetlein to be the first Golden Dome for America Direct Reporting Program Manager (GDA DRPM) reporting directly to the Deputy Secretary of Defense, the Honorable Steve Feinberg.
In this role, Gen. Guetlein will be responsible for developing the Golden Dome portfolio of capabilities.
Golden Dome is President Trump's bold vision to build a layered defense of the Homeland to provide for the common defense of the American People against ballistic, hypersonic, advanced cruise missiles, and other next-generation aerial attacks from near-peer and rogue nations.
As such, the Office of Golden Dome for America will establish partnerships with industry, academia, national labs, and other government agencies to develop an objective architecture and to rapidly develop and field defensive capabilities. The government plans to socialize this objective architecture as it is developed within the next 60 days.
Golden Dome for America requires a whole-of-nation response to deter and, if necessary, to defeat attacks against the United States. We have the technological foundation, national talent, and decisive leadership to advance our nation's defenses. We are proud to stand behind Gen. Mike Guetlein as he takes the helm of this national imperative.
