When the customers are ready, they will be prepared to provide the necessary support.

Under Joe Biden, the world has become more dangerous due to the threat of nuclear weapons and hypersonic missiles. These missiles move at incredible speeds and can cause widespread destruction. To prevent a catastrophic conflict, we need to be prepared with advanced technology and strength. As commander in chief, I will work with Congress and military leaders to build a state-of-the-art missile defense shield, similar to Israel's Iron Dome. We have the technology and capability to protect our homeland, allies, and military assets from hypersonic missile threats. Our adversaries must know that launching missiles against us will result in their total destruction. The Space Force will also play a vital role in this defense. By rebuilding our military and nuclear capabilities, we can ensure peace through strength, as demonstrated during the Trump administration. Thank you.

The airborne laser, known as the ABL, is the world's first airborne directed energy weapon. Its installation involves complex modifications, including removing and retrofitting the entire nose section and installing the world's largest titanium plate to hold the turret-mounted laser. The ABL system is designed to locate, track, and eliminate enemy targets in the air and on the ground. It can stay airborne at 40,000 feet for 5 hours, refuel in mid-air, and destroy a target up to 60 miles away in less than a second.

President announces the "Golden Dome" missile defense shield, a next-generation system deploying land, sea, and space technologies, including space-based sensors and interceptors. Canada is interested in participating. The system aims to integrate with existing defenses and be operational within three years, capable of intercepting missiles globally, including hypersonic, ballistic, and cruise missiles. The project will cost an estimated $175 billion, with an initial $25 billion investment. General Gutlein will lead the effort as program manager. Space Force is now number one in space. The Golden Dome will provide close to 100% protection, utilizing technology far advanced from existing systems. Secretary Hegseth says the Golden Dome is a generational investment in security, protecting against various missile threats. General Gutlein notes adversaries' advancements in nuclear and missile technology, emphasizing the need to protect the homeland. The system will be made in the USA, utilizing the country's technological strengths. Several senators voiced their support, highlighting their states' involvement in the project.

Real lasers have the advantage of being invisible; you only see the damage as something blows up. The Athena laser system can burn through a truck engine within seconds. Key advantages of lasers include: unlimited ammo, as long as there is power; silent operation, giving the enemy no warning; and travel at the speed of light, delivering powerful force.

Wernher von Braun taught me a strategy where the Russians were considered the enemy, followed by terrorists, third world countries, asteroids, and finally aliens. He mentioned that the idea of building space-based weapons against aliens was amusing, but emphasized that it was all a lie. He didn't provide a timeline, but believed that the effort to put weapons in space would accelerate beyond comprehension until it was too late.

This is not just a nuclear carrier or nuclear weapons carrier. This is a nuclear missile or nuclear submarine drone. Because it's in the water, it can carry a much larger payload than something flying through the air. So you've got two systems now operating with nuclear reactors in them. This is a whole new level of technology. The US created a nuclear missile once. It was nuclear powered. It was contamination in flight. Everything around was contaminated. They had to back off. They couldn't master the technology. But it was traceable too because of the radiation. It was leaking everywhere. These systems don't leak radiation. They're very effective. And what they are, first of all, just to understand, is they're second strike systems. So if The US, in this case, starts getting feisty and psychotic and tries to because The US, by the way, does have a policy of first strike, whether it's from space or whether it's missile bound or whether it's submarines out of coast. If The US thinks that they can decapitate the Russian leadership and somehow take out all the Russian missiles that are on tracked carriers, on rail carriers, on ships all over the place. But let's assume somehow they decide they can do this. You've got two issues here. One, you've got the Poseidon, which may already be in place or can be launched from a carrier and travel over three, four, five days to get in place and then explode and create a wave. I mean, if they could actually put a 100 megaton explosion, I mean, a city buster missile is one megaton. 10 megatons is something that you wipe out the entirety of something like the size of New York. If they could put a 100 megaton warhead as has been proposed, you'd be facing a 200 meter wave, a 150, 200 meter wave that would destroy most anything in its path. And that considering 80%, almost 80% of the American population lives on either of the East or the West Coast, the majority being on the East Coast, that's one of those vengeance weapons that would just destroy The US effectively as a country. Then you've got the Borovayashnik, which can fly for weeks, months maybe. Who knows nobody knows exactly how long it can actually fly. If tensions are growing very high, you put a five, six, 10 of those up in the air, and they're just doing circles and waiting for command. So the enemy knows that if they do a decapitating strike, they're gonna get wet. They're gonna get a surprise.

China, Russia, and other countries have weaponized space with directed energy weapons, including lasers and microwaves. These weapons are expected to come online by 2020. There are concerns that these advanced weapon systems may be responsible for the unprecedented fires seen in recent years. Laser-based weapons can destroy targets with external heat, while microwave weapons can penetrate targets and ignite internal electronics. Satellite imagery has shown an equal distance spread of fires starting within the same four hours, suggesting a man-made cause. Additionally, beams of light have been observed in the infrared spectrum, exciting the heat signature of fires in California and Oregon. The timing of the public admission of these weapon deployments raises questions about potential attacks with directed energy weapons.

Laser weapons, once considered fictional, are actually real and more powerful than expected. The US Navy's LAWS Laser System is a 30 kilowatt directed energy weapon that can detonate explosives, disable boats, and shoot down unmanned aircraft. It is easy to use and safer than traditional weapons. The cost per shot is only $0.59, making it more affordable than missiles. Lockheed Martin is developing the HELIOS, a 60 kilowatt laser system, for the Navy. These laser systems are primarily focused on defense against drones and potential attacks, rather than offensive capabilities. While they may not resemble the blasters in Star Wars, laser weapons are becoming a reality, albeit on a smaller scale.

Global persistent infrared surveillance is crucial for national security. The Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) replaces the Cold War defense support program and has already deployed two infrared sensor payloads in highly elliptical orbits. SBIRS also includes multiple spacecraft in Geosynchronous Earth Orbit, each equipped with two independent infrared sensors. One sensor is dedicated to missile warning and full earth monitoring, while the other can focus on selected regions. These sensors work simultaneously and independently, making SBIRS a robust and taskable infrared platform. With successful deployment, SBIRS will become an unprecedented resource for the nation's global and persistent infrared monitoring.

Directed energy weapons, such as lasers and microwaves, have been developed by the United States, Russia, China, India, the UK, and Iran. Turkey was the first to deploy this technology in combat. Defense Secretary Mark Esper announced that China and Russia have weaponized satellites with directed energy weapons. There have been concerns about these advanced weapons causing the unprecedented fires in recent years. Laser-based weapons can destroy targets with external heat, while microwave weapons penetrate targets and ignite internal electronics. Satellite imagery shows an equal distance spread of fires starting within the same four hours, raising questions about the cause. Additionally, a beam of light seen in infrared spectrum appears to excite the heat signature of fires in California and Oregon. The timing of the deployment of these weapons is notable, leading to speculation about potential attacks with directed energy weapons.

Space has become a battleground as countries like Russia and China weaponize it with directed energy weapons. These weapons, including lasers and microwaves, are expected to come online by 2020. Iran has been using them since 2013, and Turkey deployed them in combat in 2019. There are concerns that these advanced weapon systems may be responsible for the unprecedented fires in recent years. Laser-based weapons can destroy targets with external heat, while microwave weapons penetrate targets and ignite internal electronics. Satellite imagery shows an equal distance spread of fires starting within the same four hours, suggesting human involvement. Additionally, beams of light seen in infrared spectrum appear to excite the heat signature of fires. The timing of these weapon deployments raises questions about potential attacks with directed energy weapons.

Following unprecedented strikes against Iran's nuclear enrichment sites in Isfahan, Fordo, and Natanz, three B-2 bombers were involved, each carrying two 15-ton bunker-busting bombs. A flight of B-2s flew east, likely three of them, and annihilated Fordow's, likely destroying Iran's nuclear enrichment program. A separate flight of six B-2 bombers flew west over the Pacific, refueling over Hawaii, but these were decoys. Thirty Tomahawks were fired from a sub. President Trump has made clear for eleven years that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon, and tonight, he enforced it.

Global persistent infrared surveillance is crucial for national security. The Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) replaces the Cold War defense support program and has already deployed two infrared sensor payloads in highly elliptical orbits. SBIRS is also placing multiple spacecraft into Geosynchronous Earth Orbit, each equipped with two independent infrared sensors. One sensor is dedicated to missile warning and full earth monitoring, while the other can focus on specific regions. These sensors work simultaneously and independently, making SBIRS a robust and taskable infrared platform. With successful payloads already in orbit, the deployment of the GEO spacecraft will make SBIRS an unprecedented resource for global, taskable, and persistent infrared monitoring.

At a meeting, we discussed the possibility of using geophysical systems as military weapons. Ideas included causing tidal waves by detonating hydrogen bombs underwater, but it was deemed easier to just drop the bombs on a city. Another idea was to release pathogens in a cloud to rain down on enemies, particularly effective against the former Soviet Union.

Iran's nuclear ambitions are officially dead after the United States obliterated Iran's top secret Fordo nuclear facility with five to six bunker buster bombs dropped from America's stealth B2 bombers. Two other major Iranian nuclear sites, Natanz and Estevan, were wiped out with 30 Tomahawk missiles launched by American submarines some 400 miles away. Everyone is out of harm's way for now, but American assets in the region are still at risk, and the Iranian response is being monitored.

Following unprecedented strikes against Iran's nuclear enrichment sites in Isfahan, Fordo, and Natanz, it's reported that three B-2 bombers were involved, each carrying two 15-ton bunker-busting bombs. A flight of B-2s flying west over the Pacific and refueling over Hawaii at 11 PM were likely decoys. Another flight of three B-2s flew east, annihilated Fordow, and likely destroyed Iran's nuclear enrichment program. Thirty Tomahawks were fired from a submarine. President Trump has made clear for eleven years that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon, and tonight, he enforced it.

China has been developing laser weapons for over 60 years, with a focus on anti-satellite capabilities. They have ground-based laser systems that can target objects in space and have been caught using laser weapons to probe foreign satellites. China has also developed a directed energy weapon called the relativistic klystron amplifier (RKA), which can be mounted on satellites to destroy their electronics. The US is aware of the threat and has responded by prioritizing laser weapons in its defense budget. The Army has the IFPC HEL and the DEM SHORAD, the Air Force has the SHIELD program, and the Navy has the Helios laser weapon. The battle between the US and China extends across all domains and services.

Under Joe Biden, the world has become more dangerous due to the threat of nuclear weapons and hypersonic missiles. These missiles move at incredible speeds and could cause widespread destruction. To prevent a catastrophic conflict, we need to be prepared with advanced technology and strength. As commander in chief, I will work with Congress and military leaders to build a state-of-the-art missile defense shield, similar to Israel's Iron Dome. We have the technology, but past leaders haven't utilized it. We must defend our homeland, allies, and military assets from hypersonic missile threats. The Space Force will play a vital role in this defense. By prioritizing peace through strength, we can avoid wars, as we did during the Trump administration. Thank you.

Missiles have three phases of flight: boost, mid-course, and terminal. To counter this threat, a layered defense system has been developed. The airborne laser, a modified Boeing 747, is the centerpiece of this defense. Equipped with infrared lasers, it scans the horizon for missiles and measures their distance. Once a target is identified, a high-energy laser is fired, causing the missile to explode. Currently, the US Air Force only has one airborne laser, and there are concerns about the laser's quality being affected by moisture and air turbulence. Despite the defense system's capabilities, it is believed that one missile will always manage to get through.

The Department of Defense spends $1 billion annually on developing directed energy weapons like lasers and microwaves. These weapons can quickly disrupt or destroy targets and are cheaper than traditional weapons. However, the DOD faces challenges in transitioning these technologies from the lab to actual use. The army has a transition plan in place and it is recommended that the Navy and Air Force develop similar plans.

The speaker describes a missile defense scenario: missiles launched; “Missiles launching. They're launching.” They mention “Missile 101 missiles coming at them.” They say, “We have to have, like, eleven seconds to make a determination. Then at seven seconds, fire, fire, fire.” The actions are described as, “fire, boom. Fire, boom.” One at a time, the missiles are knocked out “like they were nothing,” and the situation is called “Genius.”

Directed energy weapons, such as lasers and microwaves, are being developed and deployed by various countries. China and Russia have weaponized satellites with these technologies. Laser weapons destroy targets with heat, while microwaves penetrate and destroy electronics. The use of these weapons may explain unusual destruction patterns seen in homes and cars. The deployment of these weapons raises questions about potential attacks and the intentions of various nations.

The US has developed a new laser firing aircraft carrier that operates with incredible precision. It can target specific areas, like a ship's engine, without causing damage to other parts. The laser is silent and invisible, making it a surprise for enemies. It can target moving objects on land, water, or in the air. The laser generates an infrared beam from a solid state laser array and has a lightning-fast response. It can eliminate threats in less than a second due to its speed of light. Additionally, it can fire multiple shots without traditional ammunition, resulting in a lower cost per shot.
