Michael Guetlein said he\u2019s moving quickly to build an empowered, expert team to start identifying and integrating technology for an advanced homeland missile defense architecture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve been very, very selective on getting not only the right talent, but the right personalities that understand how to go fast,\u201d Guetlein said Tuesday at the Innovate Space Global Economic Summit in Arlington, Virginia. \u201cNot everybody understands what it takes to move at that speed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Previously the Space Force\u2019s second in command, Guetlein was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2025\/07\/18\/white-house-taps-global-strike-head-as-next-air-force-vice-chief\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2025\/07\/18\/white-house-taps-global-strike-head-as-next-air-force-vice-chief\/\">confirmed last week for this role<\/a>, officially assuming the position Monday. As a direct report to Deputy Secretary of Defense Stephen Feinberg, he has a slew of authorities designed to speed up decision-making and capability delivery, including the ability to bypass standard competitive hiring procedures that can slow down the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guetlein said he has a long way to go in building his team but has a list of 30 names, identified from across industry and academia that he hopes will join the effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along with filling out his program office, Guetlein is also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/space\/2025\/03\/06\/golden-dome-success-will-require-national-buy-in-official-says\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/space\/2025\/03\/06\/golden-dome-success-will-require-national-buy-in-official-says\/\">pulling together a national-level consortium<\/a> that includes companies, labs and universities to serve both as capability providers and technical advisers for the effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since President Donald Trump announced plans to develop Golden Dome during his first week in office, the Pentagon has been working to identify a path forward \u2013 studying capability options, understanding the industry landscape and getting a sense of the feasibility of crafting a layered missile defense capability that brings together ground, air and space sensors and interceptors. <\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/air\/2025\/07\/18\/white-house-taps-global-strike-head-as-next-air-force-vice-chief\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Bussiere.jpg_b3771f.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">White House taps Global Strike head as next Air Force vice chief<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The last Air Force vice chief, Gen. Jim Slife, was fired by President Trump in February without explanation as part of a broader purge of military leaders.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In May, Trump added another challenge to the project, announcing during a televised Oval Office meeting that he expects Golden Dome to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2025\/05\/20\/trump-estimates-golden-dome-will-cost-175b-over-three-years\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2025\/05\/20\/trump-estimates-golden-dome-will-cost-175b-over-three-years\/\">completed by 2028 at a price tag of $175 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOnce fully constructed, the Golden Dome will be capable of intercepting missiles even if they are launched from other sides of the world, and even if they\u2019re launched from space. And we will have the best system ever built,\u201d Trump said at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Guetlein in place and starting to populate the newly established program office, one of his early tasks is to craft a vision for what the Golden Dome architecture will include and deliver it to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth within 60 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To further lay the groundwork and provide context for the 60-day study, Guetlein will travel to U.S. Northern Command on Thursday to discuss current gaps <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2025\/01\/29\/trumps-missile-shield-marks-shift-in-homeland-defense-strategy\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2025\/01\/29\/trumps-missile-shield-marks-shift-in-homeland-defense-strategy\/\">in the current homeland defense architecture<\/a> with its commander Gen. Gregory Guillot and U.S. Space Command head, Gen. Stephen Whiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guetlein said those gaps will help inform the size of the Golden Dome architecture, the scope of his organization and the capabilities needed to counter future threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The office is also planning several engagements with companies vying to support the effort, including a long-awaited Missile Defense Agency that was slated to happen in June but was delayed by Guetlein\u2019s confirmation process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Space Systems Command will also host an industry session focused on options for developing and fielding interceptors that can destroy missile threats from space. That part of the architecture, Guetlein said, presents the greatest technical challenge, noting that while the capabilities exist and have been proven, there are looming questions about the number of interceptors that will be required and at what cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> \u201cWhat we have not proven is, first, can I do it economically, and then second, can I do it at scale?\u201d he said. \u201cCan I build enough satellites to get after the threat? Can I expand the industrial base fast enough to build those satellites? Do I have enough raw materials, etc?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While those questions will likely take some time to answer, Guetlein said a more near-term task will be integrating various systems from across the military services into a common command-and-control architecture. That includes sensors, weapons and communication channels that need to work together, he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To get after that challenge, Guetlein plans to schedule incremental demonstrations on a six-month cadence with a goal of delivering capability as soon as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are on a short timeline,\u201d he said. \u201cThe president gave us three years to deliver this capability and we\u2019re going to deliver in three years. That means we need to move out with a sense of urgency and move out with incremental wins along the way.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a direct report to the deputy
