It also calls for the development of space-based interceptors, reviving a controversial discussion about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2019\/12\/11\/congress-backs-off-push-for-space-based-missile-intercept-layer\/\" target=\"_blank\">technically complex and politically loaded capability<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SDA\u2019s proliferated architecture includes hundreds of missile-warning satellites designed to detect and track threats in orbit. In a notice Wednesday, the agency said it is conducting a study that looks at how its architecture could be expanded as part of the Iron Dome proposal and asks companies to submit technology concept proposals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSDA is interested in industry\u2019s perspective on implementing the Iron Dome for America architecture, and is particularly interested in building on and integrating PWSA\u2019s current contributions to global kill chains and missile defense,\u201d SDA said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The document lists a number of topics the agency plans to study related to Trump\u2019s executive order, including: high-fidelity modeling, simulation and analysis of PWSA\u2019s ability to counter current and emerging threats; accelerating the process to integrate the Missile Defense Agency\u2019s space-sensor technology into the PWSA; bringing on new missile tracking and custody layer technologies; securing SDA\u2019s supply chain; and improving on-orbit sensor data processing and fusion capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SDA wants proposals submitted by Feb. 28, and notes that its study will directly inform the Defense Department\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2025\/02\/07\/senators-detail-desired-missile-defense-elements-for-trumps-iron-dome\/\" target=\"_blank\">Senate lawmakers have proposed legislation<\/a> that would add $10.4 billion to the Missile Defense Agency\u2019s fiscal 2026 budget to fund the new missile shield and another $19.5 billion in fiscal 2025. The bill, introduced by Sens. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., and Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, builds on Trump\u2019s proposal and draws on findings from the Pentagon\u2019s 2022 Missile Defense Review, which was signed out by the Biden administration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a notice Wednesday, the agency said it is conducting a study that looks at how its architecture could be expanded as part of the
