The military needs something that doesn't need to be intelligent so much as it needs to be able to coordinate and control an unknown (to us) number of THAAD systems, Patriot systems, some PACs (Patriot Advanced Capability) plus several other missile defense systems (unknown to us (but well known to the operators of the golden dome.))

You should watch more videos of the Ukrainians getting through Russian
defenses to take out high-value targets.  Wherever they put the
control for the golden dome, I don't want to be anywhere near it.

A perfectly reasonable strategy would be to fire a number of missiles to arrive on target simultaneously in order to do exactly that: overwhelm the command and control of the defense.

Bingo.

The military doesn't need an LLM or an artificial master of every discipline, it needs a system that knows everything about how to control and operate the golden dome.

This is a waste of time given current technology.
