A new partnership between satellite startup Impulse Space and defense company Anduril Industries will develop space-based interceptor technology for the US military’s planned “Golden Dome” missile defense shield. The companies were chosen by the Pentagon to create prototypes of orbit-tracking interceptors, which aim to destroy incoming missiles from space. Impulse Space will work as a subcontractor on this project, with no existing technology to draw upon, and aims to contribute to the development of a more advanced missile defense system.
