The US is building a new missile-range instrumentation vessel, dubbed the 'Golden Defender', as part of a new missile defense program. Hanwha Philly Shipyard has been awarded a $2 billion contract to build the ship, which will support the Trump administration's Golden Dome effort. The vessel is based on the National Security Multi-Mission Vessel design and will be used for missile tracking and defense.
The 'Golden Defender' ship is a significant development in the US missile defense program, providing advanced capabilities for missile tracking and defense. The use of a new acquisition model, which is 50% cheaper, also highlights the importance of cost-effective solutions in defense technology.
