00:00La U.S. está planeando algo grande.
00:04Es llamado el Golden Dome, y es siendo hyped como Estados Unidos a la respuesta a la gran threat de hipersónica missiles, drones y high-speed attacks.
00:14Think of it como el famoso Israel Iron Dome, pero más avanzado y diseñado para proteger no solo cities, pero posible todo el país y incluso los Estados Unidos.
00:25So, how will this new defense system work? How much could it cost? And is it even technically possible?
00:40Warfare has evolved far beyond the Cold War era, when the main concern was a few big, slow nuclear missiles.
00:48Today's threats include hypersonic missiles flying at over five times the speed of sound,
00:53cruise missiles capable of dodging radar systems, and swarms of drones that can launch surprise attacks from nearly any direction.
01:03Nations like China and Russia are rapidly modernizing their arsenals,
01:08and even rogue states and non-state actors are gaining access to advanced military technologies.
01:15Recognizing that existing missile defense systems are no longer sufficient,
01:19therefore the U.S. President has directed the Pentagon to begin work on a next-generation missile shield.
01:26That ambitious project is now known as the Golden Dome.
01:30The Golden Dome isn't just a bunch of radars and missiles.
01:33It's being designed as a cutting-edge, layered defense system,
01:37built to handle almost anything that flies fast and threatens danger.
01:41That includes ballistic missiles, hypersonic weapons, cruise missiles, and drone swarms.
01:48Essentially anything fast and dangerous.
01:51The real game-changer is space-based interceptors,
01:55designed to strike enemy missiles right after they launch,
01:59alongside possible ground-based systems for closer-range threats.
02:02The system is expected to involve a constellation of new satellites,
02:07positioned in low-Earth and medium-Earth orbits.
02:11These satellites will serve as early warning sensors,
02:15detecting missile launches in real time,
02:17and guiding interceptors to neutralize threats during their boost phase.
02:22AI and quantum computing will quickly predict where a missile might go,
02:27even if it changes direction mid-air,
02:29and choose the best time and place to hit it before it reaches its target.
02:35The Golden Dome would most likely use kinetic interceptors launched from space,
02:40not laser beams.
02:42Lasers could come later, once tech improves.
02:45The key idea is to hit missiles early in what's called the boost phase,
02:50from space, before they get near US territory or allies.
02:55Shooting projectiles from space is extremely costly,
02:58requires launching interceptors into orbit,
03:01keeping them powered, guided, and maintained,
03:05which is no small task.
03:07The US will probably go for a blended setup,
03:10using a mix of space-based tracking,
03:12plus ground- or air-based interception,
03:15something more realistic and cost-effective in the short term.
03:18Instead of placing interceptors in orbit,
03:22the US might use high-altitude drones,
03:25stealth aircraft,
03:26or balloons to launch interceptors during the boost phase.
03:30If a missile gets past the boost phase,
03:33ground-based systems would still try to intercept it in mid-course.
03:38The Golden Dome would just give them much more time to react,
03:41thanks to space tracking.
03:43Building something like the Golden Dome won't be a walk in the park.
03:47There are some serious challenges ahead.
03:50First off, the tech hurdle is massive.
03:54Hitting a missile from space is like trying to shoot a bullet with another bullet at 15,000 miles per hour.
04:00That's the level of precision needed.
04:04Meanwhile, rivals aren't sitting still.
04:07Countries like China and Russia are racing ahead with their own space defenses and anti-satellite weapons,
04:13making the competition even tougher.
04:16And let's not forget the sheer size of the job.
04:20Protecting the US is one thing,
04:22but trying to cover bases in Japan, Germany, Israel, South Korea, and others,
04:27that's a massive stretch, and not easy to manage.
04:31The initial version of the Golden Dome could be ready by the 2030s,
04:35with full capability expected by the 2040s.
04:38It's a massive undertaking,
04:40with a projected cost running into hundreds of billions of dollars.
04:45Once deployed, the system would operate both in space and on the ground,
04:50covering the US mainland,
04:51and potentially extending protection to key overseas bases as well.
04:55The Golden Dome is a bold and risky move.
05:00If it works, it could stop wars before they begin.
05:03But if it fails,
05:05it might push the world toward a dangerous nuclear arms race.
05:10Some US leaders think it's better to protect only key allies,
05:14or just focus on defending the homeland.
05:17The danger?
05:18Unprotected countries might build their own nukes.
05:21One thing is clear,
05:23this isn't just a defense system.
05:25It's a high-stakes gamble on the future of war,
05:28and America's global role.
05:30It could never doom.
05:42It could still fail,
05:43and America's global role.
05:45Unless it fails...
05:46There are certain terrible powers around the começar.
05:49Now,
05:51we move forward.
