Golden Dome-style missile shield could cost up to $1.2T over 20 years to develop, deploy, and operate, CBO estimates

That is only $60 billion per year! Not too bad!

More concerning is how outdated it might be in the age of hypersonic missiles and drone warfare. How will the Golden Dome be adjusted for that?

Is the acquisition and development of Greenland included? Just kidding! 😊

"... CBO said most of the cost, over $1 trillion, would be needed for acquisition, including “costs for the system’s major components — namely, the interceptor layers and a space-based missile warning and tracking system.”

“The most expensive component is the space-based interceptor layer, which accounts for about 70 percent of acquisition costs and 60 percent of total costs,” the report says. ..."
