Is the “Golden Dome” the Future of U.S. Nuclear Missile Defense? | What's Really Happening? (GNSI)

In this episode of What’s Really Happening?, retired four-star General Frank McKenzie joins USF’s Dr. Tad Schnaufer to explore the concept of a U.S. “Golden Dome” — a next-generation missile defense strategy aimed at protecting the homeland from nuclear attack. They examine the legacy and limitations of past systems like Nike, Sentinel, and THAAD, and make the case for space-based missile interception during the critical boost phase — a concept that is technologically possible but financially daunting. Key topics include: • The strategic promise and cost of space-based missile defense • Why hypersonic weapons are reshaping the threat landscape • The future of NATO collaboration on missile defense • A realistic look at the U.S.–China nuclear competition This is a timely, high-level conversation on deterrence, technology, and what it would take to shield the U.S. from a future nuclear strike.
