Officials say E7 wedge tail and space‑based 'Golden Dome' would provide complementary moving‑target tracking options
Summary
A senator asked how the E7 wedge tail platform would integrate with a space‑based airborne moving‑target indicator called 'Golden Dome'; a senior official said the systems are complementary and would expand options for air battle management.
During the same Senate committee hearing, the senator asked how an E7 “wedge tail” capability would complement efforts to build out a space‑based airborne moving‑target indicator referred to in the hearing as the “Golden Dome.”
A senior Air Force official replied that in difficult combat situations, “the more capability you have, the better,” and described the systems as complementary options that would provide more choices for air battle management and moving‑target indication.
The exchange was framed as capability development discussion; the committee record does not include technical performance data, timelines, or procurement actions tied to the E7 wedge tail or the Golden Dome.
