GOP senators introduce Golden Dome Act to counter threats from Iranian missiles

EXCLUSIVE – With the intensification of the Iranian situation, the senators will present Tuesday a bill which creates the anti -missile defense system “Golden Dome” on the model of Iron Dome of Israel that President Donald Trump asked at the start of his mandate.

Sense. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, and Kevin Cramer, RN.D., met to develop the Ground & Orbital launched the defeat of emerging nuclear destruction and other missile commitments (Golden Dome), a congress authority of $ 21 billion between more than two dozen individual defensive strategies.

This comes after Trump ordered in January that a defense system was carried out in response to the “threat of attack by ballistic, hypersonic and cruise missiles, and other advanced air attacks”. Trump then confirmed his research plan to build the golden dome during an appearance of Mayy May with Sullivan.

“The threats of increasing missiles which we have witnessed of the Iranian terrorist regime and hypersonic threats, cruise missiles and rapidly evolving drones of Russia, China and other opponents demonstrate why we have to develop a robust modernized anti -missile defense system to protect the whole country, which the Golden Dome Act will”, told Fox News Digital.

“The three components of a successful policy at DC are presidential management, appropriate financing and complete authorization legislation.”

The order of Trump quoted the former president Ronald Reagan’s so-called “Star Wars” Plan to build laser nuclear defense systems against the Soviet Union, while Sullivan and Cramer took a big step on Tuesday to create something more complete.

Similar to “Star Wars”, the Golden Dome Plan calls for the development and deployment of spatial weapons sensors, as well as research on another orbital component, a proliferated spatial architecture.

The state of Sullivan, in Alaska, houses some of the most important existing existing defense systems in North America, in particular in Clear Space Force Base near Fairbanks and Fort Greely in Delta Junction.

The latter houses members of the National Guard of the Alaska army who provide “operational control and security of the country’s ground interceptors”, according to the governor of Alaska, Mike Dunleavy. There are about 80 interceptors on loan to Fort Greely.

The golden dome Plan is based on such defenses, by creating, by maintaining, while also revitalizing other sites, including the COBRA DANE Radar system – a radar system with electronic scanning scan in the land positioned in the Aleutian chain.

“Alaska is a large part of (anti -missile defense) because the location is a bit perfect,” said Trump. As an east and most west state of the Union, Alaska is also the trade and defensive gateway to Asia, state officials noted.

The specifics of the Golden Dome Act would first focus on the current situations to which the United States can respond in the short term, including upgrade systems and short-term replenishment in PAC-3 missiles “Patriot”.

The second piece of the puzzle is turned forward, according to a familiar source with effort, focusing on technologies such as space interceptors and airline traveling indicators – capacities that the United States has not yet controlled.

Certain assets to be used in any Chinese-Taiwan contingency are already in Alaska, prefiguring that the components of the Golden Dome would be Subject to a robust test regime.

The Golden Dome would also include a combat management system, allowing Trump or a future commander-in-chief to have the visibility and the panoply of options at hand if an attack on the United States overrated.

The Golden Dome would also include the Aegis Ashore Missile range in Kauai, Hawaii and, in the state of Cramer, the Radar Speeding System for Cavalier Space Force.

Additional mobile launch systems would be created across the country, as well as an early warning “warning installation” to develop somewhere in the South.

“”The golden dome Act increases our national security by improving awareness of all areas – eyes and ears on which any architecture of defense of missiles rests; The strengthening of missiles and drones defeats the ability to meet the threat of peer and almost peers; And accelerate new capacities to force to counter future threats to the fatherland, “read Sullivan and Cramer’s plan.

“Despite this growing threat, the anti-missile defense policy of the United States has been seriously limited to staying ahead of the threats of the thug nation and accidental or unauthorized missile launches.”

Cramer, whose state was subject to purchases of suspicious Chinese lands near a sensitive military base, said that the weapons technology of American opponents had progressed, so that the defense of the United States should remain ahead of them.

“We have to act to defend ourselves against the landscape of evolving and complex threats. Senator Sullivan and I have presented the Golden Dome Act to build an anti -missile defense system in layers, which protects our homeland against the catastrophic attacks of modern missiles,” said Cramer.

Representative Mark Messmer, R-Ind., Who will direct the companion legislation in the House, added that the United States “should be ready to prevent nuclear weapons from harming our citizens”.
