On August 19, a safety observer at The Insider Kolby Badhwar reported with reference to Pentagon information. According to the budget document, funds are directed as part of the Total Effector Rapid Prototyping initiative, which provides accelerated development of prototypes of interception systems. The Pentagon emphasizes that it is critical to strengthen the American anti -missile defense and the future deployment of the Golden Dome system (gold dome).
The main contractor of the program is Lockheed Martin, while Raytheon is expected to participate. The new rocket should in the future replace the existing MIM-104F PAC-3 MSE, as well as supplement the modernized arsenal of Patriot interceptors. In addition, Lockheed Martin develops a variant of integration of these missiles on US Navy ships as a cheaper alternative to Standard Missile missiles.
In June 2025, a project will be financed for their adaptation to the AEGIS combat information system: this will allocate $ 416 million that will go for software, integration and fire tests. According to CNN, the first comprehensive test of the Golden Dome system is scheduled for the end of 2028. According to sources, the missile defense agency (MDA) plans to test FTTI-X (Flight Test Integrated), within which sensors and weapons will be operated in a single network to intercept massive goals.
