CBO reported that DOD’s Golden Dome implementation was in early stages and that the objective architecture had not been released, preventing CBO from estimating DOD’s contemplated long-term system cost.

CBO provides official context for why the demand was still relevant: DOD had not released key Golden Dome architecture details before Garamendi’s June 17 oversight letter.
