We can’t have that.”Gen. Saltzman has proposed a space deterrence theory called “Competitive Endurance,” which he describes as the ability to protect U.S. space assets while denying an adversary’s hostile use of its space assets. Electric propulsion systems are ten times more fuel-efficient than chemical systems with low thrust. Advanced Electric Propulsion System (AEPS) thrusters are capable of accelerating spacecraft to extremely high speeds over time using a fraction of the propellant required by conventional chemical propulsion systems. Our propulsion solutions protect key Golden Dome space assets to ensure that both sensor and shooter missile shield satellites are difficult to track, target and attack. With proven in-space propulsion systems for any scenario and robust research and development of promising new technologies, L3Harris stands ready to help the Golden Dome protect itself while it protects the nation.
