Rep. Mark Messmer of Indiana has introduced the Ground and Orbital Launched Defeat of Emergent Nuclear Destruction and Other Missile Engagement (GOLDEN DOME) Act. This legislation aims to establish a layered missile defense system to protect the United States from potential nuclear threats.
The Golden Dome Act draws inspiration from Israel's Iron Dome, recognized for its precision in missile defense. The act seeks to implement a similar strategy to safeguard Americans from foreign threats.
Rep. Messmer emphasized the importance of this initiative by stating, "In a world where hostile adversaries like Russia and China present an ever-present nuclear threat, America must stand ready to prevent nuclear weapons from harming our citizens." He further noted that "the Golden Dome Act fulfills President Trump’s initiative to keep America safe with this state-of-the-art missile defense shield."
The legislation is aligned with a plan previously unveiled by President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at the White House in May 2025. In addition, Senators Dan Sullivan of Alaska and Kevin Cramer of North Dakota have introduced a corresponding version in the Senate.
