Summary

Nutrition label

80% Informative

Iain Boyd : Golden Dome will provide close to 100% protection for U.S. in 3 years .

He says it will be fully operational before the end of his term in three years .

Boyd : New hypersonic missiles are very high speed, operate in a region of the atmosphere where nothing else flies and are maneuverable.

But he says it's unlikely any missile defense system will ever provide 100% of protection.

Iain D. Boyd is the H.T. Sears Memorial Professor in Aerospace Engineering Sciences and Director of the Center for National Security Initiatives at the University of Colorado .

Boyd : With multiple countries now operating hypersonic missiles, there is a real sense of urgency.

He says $25 billion to launch Golden Dome would represent only 2.5% of the total requested defense budget.

A second -generation Golden Dome system in the future would likely use directed energy weapons.
