Within days of President Trump’s issuance of his Executive Order calling for the development of a U.S. missile defense system, the Defense Department’s Missile Defense Agency issued a Request for Information (RFI) to U.S. industry for ideas on how to implement President Trump’s E.O. The defense industry website “Breaking Defense” calls the RFI, “a surprisingly fast turn around on a Pentagon program.”
Theresa Hitchens
The RFI is very broad and calls on industry to provide concepts by February 28 on a range of technologies to “detect and defeat the threat of attack by ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, and other advanced aerial attacks”.
The RFI is not exhaustive but is intended to survey what concepts already exist in industry that might be useful in advancing the program and what research and development programs can contribute to it.
Undoubtedly to fully implement the program called for in President Trump’s E.O., new technologies must be developed. This will be a spur to U.S. industry and the scientific community to push the frontiers of technology which will certainly have spin-off effects far beyond missile defense.
Considered in conjunction with Energy Secretary Christopher Wright’s Order for a “Golden Age of American Energy” the Trump administration is moving quickly to put the U.S. on a fast track to a scientific and technological revolution.

Cable news is arguing eggs, beef, gas, and Iran. Bruce Director spent Saturday night on the real midterm question: American System vs. British System — two flavors of the same entropy, and nine weeks to pick a future.
Chatbots dominate the AI argument. Brian Lantz spent Saturday night on the other kind — robots, machine shops, and factory floors — and why manufacturing, not the data center, is where the country actually gets richer.
Four new nuclear reactors went critical in a single month — America's first in 40 years. Brian Lantz on the factory boom the media won't name, and the apprenticeship programs that pay you to help build it. The hardest problem was never the physics.
Modern science is built from the bottom up — math, then physics, then life, then mind. Every great discovery was made the other way. Bruce Director on how music exposes what your mind can do that no machine ever will — and why it's the key to a new revolution in science.
