One Trillion Dollars?! Nine Charts to Help Demystify the Pentagon's Budget

  • The Defense Intelligence Agency published the 'Golden Dome for America' report this week, detailing the emerging missile dangers posed to the United States over the coming ten years.
  • The report follows rising missile tests by North Korea since October 2024 and ongoing military drills with U.S. Allies, which North Korea cites as provocation.
  • The DIA identifies six categories of missile threats, such as intercontinental ballistic missiles and hypersonic weapons, emphasizing that major concerns come from nations with nuclear-capable arsenals, including the primary adversaries in East Asia and the Middle East.
  • The assessment highlights that no area within the U.S. Mainland is beyond the reach of missile attacks launched from intercontinental ballistic missiles or those deployed from submarines, emphasizing the growing scale and complexity of these missile threats.
  • In response, the U.S. Plans the Golden Dome missile defense initiative, with $25 billion proposed for space-based sensors and interceptors, though total costs could reach trillions and face technological and spectrum access challenges.
