US missile defense: Alphabet in talks to join Trump's Golden Dome defense
Google could secure the data supply of the planned missile defense against attacks. The talks with the Pentagon have just begun, and no decision has been made.
New York - Alphabet's subsidiary Google is negotiating with the US Department of Defense about a stake in the Golden Dome missile defense program, according to informed sources. The Pentagon is forming a new company to secure the data that will be fed into the military software developed for Golden Dome, the sources revealed, requesting anonymity as the matter is not public.
Several other companies are expected to be involved in the group, with discussions reportedly focusing on Google's expertise in data storage, networking, and cybersecurity. The talks are still at an early stage and plans could change. Network technology company Aalyria Technologies, which emerged from Google, is also said to be part of the consortium.
