Golden Dome, class missile defense systems represent one of the most demanding distributed computing environments ever conceived. These systems must operate across space, air, ground, and terrestrial infrastructure while supporting real-time sensor processing, AI-driven threat classification, heterogeneous compute acceleration, and continuous modernization under adversarial conditions.
The technical challenge is not limited to performance. Modern processors provide extraordinary computational density, and GPU accelerators enable real-time inference previously considered unattainable. The true engineering challenge lies in controlling behavior, ensuring determinism, enforcing isolation, maintaining security boundaries, and enabling long-term evolution without destabilizing mission integrity.
Golden Dome is, at its core, a runtime architecture problem.
This paper examines the requirements for a deterministic, separation-based, Zero-Trust execution substrate capable of supporting Golden Dome systems over multi-decade lifecycles.
