Space-Based Interceptors
Space-Based Defense Against A New Era of Threats
The United States is entering a new era of missile defense as adversaries continue to develop ballistic missiles, hypersonic weapons, advanced cruise missiles, and other next-generation aerial threats.
In response, the United States is moving toward layered defense architectures built around speed, persistence, global reach, and rapid responsiveness.
At Inversion, we believe space is the defining platform for next-generation defense capability.
Our systems are designed for responsive, high-speed operations at global scale, enabling new approaches to missile defense, persistent defense, and national security missions.
Inversion Partners with Anduril to Work on Space-Based Interceptors for Golden Dome
Inversion is partnering with Anduril to support next-generation space-based interceptor efforts related to Golden Dome.
The partnership brings together expertise across autonomy, defense systems, and commercial space operations to advance next-generation missile defense capabilities.
What was once considered prohibitively expensive is becoming increasingly practical through commercial innovation and industrial scale.

Golden Dome
Across administrations and decades, the strategic importance of missile defense has remained constant. Today, advances in commercial space are creating new possibilities for how it can be achieved.
Enabling Deployment From Space
Golden Dome reflects a broader transformation underway across national security: space is becoming an operational layer of the defense architecture, not simply a domain for communications and observation.
For decades, space has connected the world through communications, navigation, and sensing. The next era will extend that advantage into the physical domain.
As space-based interceptor architectures mature, deployment from space will become a defining capability for persistent homeland defense, layered missile defense, and future national security missions.
