Impulse Space, Anduril Building Space Technology for Golden Dome

Satellite startup Impulse Space is working with Anduril Industries Inc to develop space-based interceptor technology for President Donald Trump’s planned Golden Dome missile defense shield, according to people familiar with the matter.

The companies have been selected by the Pentagon to develop prototypes of space-based interceptors intended to track and destroy missiles from orbit, said the people, who asked for anonymity to discuss confidential matters. Impulse Space would work as a subcontractor to Anduril on the technology, which doesn’t yet exist.
