General Atomics ready to support Golden Dome missile defence project with cutting-edge solutions

By Lukasz Prus (Defence Industry Europe)

General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) announced its readiness to support the Golden Dome missile defence architecture with a range of advanced technologies. The Golden Dome will be a layered defence system designed to protect against hypersonic, ballistic, and cruise missiles, as well as other airborne threats.

 

At the Space and Missile Defense Symposium, GA-EMS showcased its Bullseye missile and Long-Range Manoeuvring Projectile (LRMP), displayed in 1:1 and 1:2 scale models respectively. The company had accelerated integration and testing work to demonstrate advanced capabilities and move quickly towards operational deployment in support of Golden Dome.

“Our LRMP aligns with dynamic defence requirements for improved long-range precision strikes and minimises operational uncertainty by integrating into existing artillery systems,” said Scott Forney, president of GA-EMS. “The next phase of full-system testing will validate the projectile’s performance across complex scenarios and ensure seamless integration with missile defence frameworks.”

The Bullseye missile system had reached Technology Readiness Level 8, sharing 80% of its components with combat-proven TRL 9 systems that had been validated in real-world operations. GA-EMS representatives at Booth #531 provided insight into the designs and field-testing plans for both the LRMP and Bullseye in the context of Golden Dome’s layered defence approach.

In addition, GA-EMS presented its portfolio of laser weapon systems, hypersonics and sensor payloads for missile defence and tracking. These solutions were intended to enhance the flexibility and capability of Golden Dome to conduct both defensive and offensive missions.
