Golden Dome:AI-Driven Shield for Multi-Domain Future

Converture is architecting intelligent, software-defined defenses that help turn the Golden Dome vision into an operational reality — integrating space, 5G/6G, cyber, and AI/ML into one adaptive shield for the homeland and deployed forces.

The Golden Dome concept is a multi-layered, multi-domain missile defense architecture designed to protect the United States and its allies from ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, as well as advanced aerial and cyber-enabled threats. It combines space-based sensors, terrestrial radars, interceptors, electronic warfare, cyber defense, and resilient communications into a single, coherent shield.

To make this vision real, the Department of Defense needs more than hardware. It needs AI-native, software-defined, data-centric systems that can:

• Fuse data from thousands of sensors in real time
   
• Detect, classify, and track threats across all domains
   
• Orchestrate kinetic and non-kinetic effects at machine speed
   
• Continuously learn and adapt as adversaries evolve
   

This is where Converture operates.

Converture is a specialized technology firm focused on 5G/6G architectures, AI/ML, satellite communications, cyber defense, and digital twin–driven engineering. We do not build interceptors — we build the intelligent nervous system that connects sensors, command centers, shooters, and warfighters into one coherent Golden Dome.

We focus on four core layers:

Sensing & Data Layer
 

• Ingest, normalize, and fuse data from space-based sensors, terrestrial radars, EO/IR, EW systems, and battlefield edge devices.
   
• Real-time data engineering pipelines tailored to SHIELD and Golden Dome requirements.
   

C2, AI/ML & Decision Layer
 

• AI/ML models to detect, classify, and predict threat behavior across ballistic, hypersonic, cruise, and UAS profiles.
   
• Decision-support and mission management that enables human commanders to fight at machine speed, with humans on the loop.
   

Communications & 5G/6G Battle Network Layer
 

• 5G/6G, NTN, and SATCOM architectures to interconnect dispersed nodes: continental sensors, forward-deployed assets, and allied networks.
   
• RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) and network digital twins to guarantee resilient, low-latency connectivity under contested conditions

Digital Twin & Test/Training Layer
 

• High-fidelity digital twins of networks, sensors, and engagement scenarios for design, test, training, and continuous upgrade.
   
• “Sim-to-ops” pipelines that shorten the time from concept to deployed capability.

From early warning to intercept — and beyond.

Converture supports key Golden Dome mission threads such as:

• Boost-Phase & Early Trajectory Detection
  Integrating space-based sensors, ground radars, and AI analytics to enable earlier, higher-confidence detection and handoff.
   
• Hypersonic Threat Tracking & Engagement Support
  High-rate sensor fusion and predictive tracking for maneuvering hypersonic threats across multiple domains.
   
• Integrated Air & Missile Defense (IAMD) with Edge AI
  Pushing AI/ML analytics to the tactical edge via 5G/6G-enabled nodes to maintain performance even under degraded communications.
   
• Non-Kinetic and Multi-Effect Coordination
  Orchestrating jamming, cyber, deception, and kinetic intercepts as one integrated effects chain.
   
• Mission Rehearsal & Training in a Digital Twin
  Using network and system twins to train operators, test new AI models, and validate operational concepts without risking the real system.

Golden Dome will evolve faster than any previous missile defense architecture. Converture embraces model-based systems engineering (MBSE), digital threads, and DevSecOps to ensure:

• Rapid integration of new sensors, platforms, and effectors
   
• Continuous AI model updates with robust evaluation and governance
   
• Configuration-controlled digital baselines shared across government and industry teams
   
• Shorter cycles from concept to deployed capability
   

Our engineering approach aligns with MDA and DoD guidance on digital engineering, open systems architecture, and agile acquisition.

Converture is an Other Than Small Business under NAICS 541715 but operates with the agility of a small, highly specialized team. We actively team with:

• Small disadvantaged businesses
   
• HUBZone and SDVOSB cyber and AI firms
   
• Academic research partners such as Mississippi State University
   

We align with MDA’s SHIELD IDIQ and Golden Dome objectives, bringing deep technical expertise in:

• AI/ML for defense
   
• 5G/6G and NTN architectures
   
• Cybersecurity and Zero Trust
   
• Digital twins and large-scale data engineering
   

We are open to teaming discussions for Golden Dome, SHIELD, and related homeland defense efforts.
