Nukkleus Advisory Board Member Brigadier General (Ret.) Mark Beesley Highlights Rimon's Strategic Role in Trump's 'Golden Dome' Missile Defense Initiative
NEW YORK, March 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Retired Brigadier General Mark Beesley, senior advisor to Nukkleus Inc. (NASDAQ: NUKK), has addressed the significance of President Donald Trump's executive order to develop a U.S. missile defense shield, known as the "Golden Dome," inspired by Israel's Iron Dome.
President Trump's executive order marks a historic shift in U.S. defense policy, prioritizing the construction of a state-of-the-art missile defense system designed to counter ballistic missiles, hypersonic weapons, and cruise missile threats. The initiative emphasizes domestic production and leveraging battle-tested technologies, with companies across the defense sector expected to play a role in its execution.
Rimon's Role in the Evolving Defense Landscape
As the U.S. gears up to expand its missile defense capabilities, industry attention is turning toward proven suppliers with expertise in next-generation defense systems. B. Rimon Agencies Ltd. ("Rimon"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Star 26 Capital Inc. ("Star 26"), is a supplier of critical components for Israel's Iron Dome, positioning itself as a key player in this rapidly evolving sector.
"Missile defense is no longer just a regional necessity—it's a global imperative," said General Beesley. "Rimon's expertise in supplying essential components for Iron Dome makes it well-positioned to contribute to the next phase of U.S. defense innovation. As threats evolve, the ability to integrate proven technology into new strategic initiatives like the Golden Dome is paramount."
The pending Nukkleus acquisition of a 51% equity interest in Star 26, which is subject to shareholder approval, further solidifies Nukkleus's expansion into the defense industry. The move underscores Nukkleus's commitment to leveraging its investment strategy to drive innovation in critical defense technologies.
Strengthening the U.S. Missile Defense Supply Chain
With the U.S. Department of Defense seeking to accelerate production of air defense assets, companies with deep-rooted experience in missile defense systems, such as Rimon, are likely to be at the forefront of this new era of strategic defense investments.
"Rimon's track record speaks for itself," added Brigadier General Beesley. "As Nukkleus strengthens its presence in the defense industry, we are actively positioning ourselves to align with the increasing demand for cutting-edge security solutions that protect against evolving global threats."
With President Trump's executive order setting the stage for major defense industry shifts, it is expected that Nukkleus, Star 26, and Rimon are strategically placed to capitalize on emerging opportunities, reinforcing their role in next-generation air and missile defense capabilities.
