Senator Sheehy criticizes insufficient program cycle as warfighters deserve better than defense procurement systems at news conference on GOLDEN DOME Act

Montana Senator Tim Sheehy says at a news conference to introduce the GOLDEN DOME Act that they have fallen into a cycle where programs were late over budget and equipment was not ready while magazine depth was insufficient, seeing conflicts from Red Sea to Ukraine Israel to Iran that rapidly chew through magazine depth affecting ability to defend the homeland, while the golden dome initiative will force fundamental defense acquisition change allowing new prime contractors to compete and shortening timeline between combat need production and development.
