Jeff Crank, R-Colo., announced the initiative during a Hudson Institute event in Washington, DC. Rep. Dale Strong, R-Ala., will co-chair the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe House Golden Dome Caucus will serve as an educational clearinghouse for members and staff to engage with civilian and military leadership, industry partners, think tanks, and others in relation to the Golden Dome initiative,\u201d Crank\u2019s office said in a statement following the event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Senate, meanwhile, launched its own Golden Dome Caucus in May, led by Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Mont. The two groups will collaborate \u201cto maximize cooperation and efficiency,\u201d Crank said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump announced plans to field the layered missile defense capability \u2013 a network of ground, air and space-based sensors and missile interceptors \u2013 in a Jan. 27 executive order. Since then, the Pentagon has been working in earnest to draft an architecture and acquisition strategy for the effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The administration has not yet revealed the details of that strategy, but Trump said last month <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\/\">in an Oval Office press conference<\/a> that the initiative will cost around $175 billion and be operating by the end of his term \u2014 a cost and schedule that experts have cast doubt on, especially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2025\/05\/30\/behemoth-golden-dome-may-face-lackluster-scrutiny-in-trumps-pentagon\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2025\/05\/30\/behemoth-golden-dome-may-face-lackluster-scrutiny-in-trumps-pentagon\/\">without more specifics on the project\u2019s scope<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A highly anticipated industry meeting slated for June 11 in Huntsville, Ala., was expected to provide some of that insight, but the Pentagon canceled the event last week without explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the Hudson event, Crank said he believes Golden Dome will be a \u201cgenerational leap forward in defense of the homeland.\u201d He pushed back on criticism from some Democrats in Congress who have questioned whether the capability is technically feasible and who have raised concerns that the plan to field space-based efforts could spur an arms race with Russia and China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Russian and Chinese governments have both condemned Golden Dome in recent weeks. In a joint statement on May 15, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin said the U.S. government\u2019s pursuit of \u201can overwhelming military superiority\u201d is fundamentally destabilizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crank characterized U.S. lawmakers\u2019 misgivings as \u201ca Pollyanna view\u201d of the world and said he suspects some lawmakers on the other side of the aisle have a knee-jerk aversion to the Trump-driven initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt really just triggers some on the left,\u201d he said, adding that some House Democrats have shown support for the caucus and plan to join after Republicans pass their budget reconciliation bill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The House and Senate versions of the GOP\u2019s budget reconciliation bill propose an initial <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2025\/04\/28\/gop-funding-boost-targets-golden-dome-high-tech-fighters-and-ships\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2025\/04\/28\/gop-funding-boost-targets-golden-dome-high-tech-fighters-and-ships\/\">$25 billion for Golden Dome<\/a>, and a draft of the House Appropriation Committee\u2019s defense subcommittee proposal for fiscal 2026 spending, released Monday, would add $13 billion for missile defense and space-based elements of the effort. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
