谷歌公司正与美国国防部就一项新的数据安全工作进行磋商，该工作将支撑耗资1850亿美元的“金顶”导弹防御计划，知情人士透露了这一消息。
Inc.’s Google is in talks with the US Defense Department to work on a new data security effort underpinning the $185 billion Golden Dome missile defense program, according to people familiar with the matter.
知情人士称，五角大楼正在组建一个新的行业小组，旨在保障输入为“金顶”计划军事软件的数据安全。这些人因相关事宜尚未公开而要求匿名。
The Pentagon is standing up a new industry group that aims to secure the data that feeds into military software being built for Golden Dome, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the matter isn’t public.
知情人士表示，该小组可能涉及多家公司，共同确保流入新指挥控制软件的数据能抵御攻击，例如切断固定电话、手机基站及其他关键通信基础设施接入的企图。
The group is likely to involve multiple companies working to ensure data that flows into the new command-and-control software is resilient to attacks, such as attempts to cut access to landlines, cell towers and other critical communications infrastructure, the people said.
其中一位知情人士称，磋商重点集中在谷歌的数据存储、网络和网络安全能力上。他们表示，对话仍处于早期阶段，计划可能会变化。他们补充说，从谷歌分拆出来的网络公司Aalyria Technologies公司也参与了该联盟。
The talks have focused on Google’s data storage, networking and cybersecurity capabilities, one of the people said. Conversations are still early and plans could change, they said. Aalyria Technologies, Inc., a networking company spun out from Google, is involved in the consortium, they added.
一位五角大楼官员表示，虽然该办公室可能会探索初步概念，但尚未就是否成立新联盟或行业参与者做出最终决定。谷歌和Aalyria公司均拒绝置评。
A Pentagon official said that while the office may explore preliminary concepts, no final decision has been made regarding a new consortium or industry participants. Google and Aalyria declined to comment.
“金顶”是特朗普总统的标志性国防计划，旨在从地面到太空构建一层防御体系，保护美国免受外来攻击。
Golden Dome is President Donald Trump’s marquee defense program to build a layer of defense systems from ground to space that will protect the US from foreign attack.
“金顶”的指挥控制层由另一个包括Anduril、Palantir和SpaceX在内的小组开发，旨在控制和连接武器系统、雷达及美国军方其他此前各自为政的系统。
The Golden Dome’s command-and-control layer, which is being developed by a separate group including Anduril, Palantir and SpaceX, is intended to control and connect weapons systems, radars, and other previously siloed systems across the US military.
这一举措将标志着谷歌首次公开参与“金顶”计划，也是这家搜索引擎巨头持续深耕国家安全和国防工作的又一迹象。
The effort would mark Google’s first publicly known involvement in the Golden Dome program and another sign of how the search engine giant is continuing to lean into national security and defense work.
五角大楼分别推进的“金顶”计划——旨在开创基于太空的导弹拦截器——以及其指挥控制联盟，均依赖从初创企业到成熟主承包商的众多公司，这与以往通常由单一大型承包商牵头的国防项目形成对比。
Both the Pentagon’s separate Golden Dome initiatives to pioneer space-based missile interceptors and its command-and-control consortium rely on numerous companies from startups to established primes, unlike past defense programs that have been more typically anchored by a single, large contractor.
谷歌与国防工作的渊源颇为复杂。2018年，数千名谷歌员工抗议公司参与名为“马文计划”的军事人工智能项目，理由是担心商业技术会为战争提供支持。谷歌最终未续签该合同。
Google has had a complicated history with defense work. In 2018, thousands of Google employees protested the company’s involvement in a military AI program called Project Maven, citing concerns that the commercial technology would be supporting warfare. Google ultimately didn’t renew the contract.
此后几年，谷歌成立了专门的公共部门业务，并与军方签署了人工智能和云能力方面的协议。
In the years since, however, the company has created a dedicated public sector business and signed deals with the military for AI and cloud capabilities.
今年4月，谷歌签署协议，同意在五角大楼的机密工作中使用其人工智能模型，这标志着其立场发生逆转，尽管此举再次引发了员工的抵制，但规模较前一次较小。
In April, Google signed an agreement to use its AI models for classified work at the Pentagon, an about-face from its previous stance amid another, albeit smaller, backlash from employees.
