$QBTS Thanks to @Gall_t for posting that article on D-Wave, Anduril, and Davidson on missile defence. It confirms what we have known from Davidson’s presentations on the topic of missile defence in that D-Wave would likely be involved in the Golden Dome project.
They would most likely be looking to use a hybrid solver stack with fail safe classical fallbacks but it is the only way that I can see to solve increasingly complex and rugged optimization problems in a time 🕰️ critical way such as missile defence requires. I am thinking specifically about new hypersonic missile tech like Russia’s 🇷🇺 Oreshnik and the US’s 🇺🇸 Dark Eagle 🦅.
More importantly, it would be very difficult for aggressors to circumvent. Just MHO. Military stuff is not my area but optimization is.
