$151 Billion Is Expensive for Golden Dome, But the Real Cost Could Be $1.2 Trillion
The U.S. Pentagon's 'Golden Dome' missile defense system, initially estimated at up to $185 billion, is now projected by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to cost $1.2 trillion over 20 years. This massive price tag raises concerns about feasibility and could impact investors in major defense contractors like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, RTX Corporation, Intuitive Machines, Rocket Lab, and Viasat.
