Anduril teams with commercial space firms, Sandia lab on Golden Dome interceptor program

Anduril is coordinating a broad partner team—including Impulse Space, Inversion Space, K2 Space, Sandia National Laboratories, and Voyager Technologies—to advance space-based interceptors under the Golden Dome program.
The SBI approach envisions weapons deployed in orbit, enabling earlier engagement of threats in flight as part of Golden Dome's strategy.
Golden Dome is framed as a layered defense effort with space components designed to counter hypersonic weapons and large-scale missile attacks.
The consortium targets a near-term milestone by about 2028 to demonstrate integrated SBI capabilities within Golden Dome.
Anduril stresses delivering SBI at speed and scale by leveraging a diverse ecosystem of partners.
The collaboration model blends commercial startups with government-backed research to advance SBI development.
Impulse Space, Inversion Space, and K2 Space contribute propulsion, reentry, and spacecraft platform capabilities critical to SBI architecture.
Sandia National Laboratories contributes decades of weapons-technology expertise to help advance Golden Dome’s SBI effort.
The new reference places Golden Dome in a broader budget context, with investment in the multi-billion-dollar program and orbital goals.
Space Force leadership has identified SBI as a high-risk, high-reward element, emphasizing affordability and scalability as central challenges for the consortium.
