Das Konzept ist mehrstufig: Satelliten im Orbit sollen einen Raketenstart innerhalb von Sekunden erkennen und verfolgen; ein Mix aus boden-, see- und weltraumgest\u00fctzten Abfangsystemen soll die Bedrohung neutralisieren; und ein KI-gest\u00fctztes F\u00fchrungsnetzwerk soll die Systeme schnell genug vernetzen, um wirksam zu reagieren. Die gr\u00f6\u00dfte Herausforderung \u2013 weltraumgest\u00fctzte Abfangsysteme, die eine Rakete in der Startphase treffen k\u00f6nnen \u2013 ist zugleich die futuristischste, und die Space Force strebt eine fr\u00fche Einsatzf\u00e4higkeit bereits ab 2028 an.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin: 0 0 24px;\"><img data-opt-id=1526789016  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto; border-radius: 6px;\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/space-development-agency-tranche-0-launch.jpg\" alt=\"Start der Raumfahrtagentur\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" \/>\r\n<figcaption style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #777; text-align: center; margin-top: 6px; font-style: italic;\">Die Goldene Kuppel ist stark vom Weltraum abh\u00e4ngig: Raketenwarn- und -verfolgungssatelliten, wie diese Raumfahrzeuge der Space Development Agency, die von Vandenberg aus starten, bilden ihre Augen.
