Missile Defense

Missile Defense refers to a system or strategy designed to detect, track, intercept, and destroy incoming missiles, typically ballistic missiles, before they can reach their intended target. These systems can employ various technologies, including radar, satellites, and interceptor missiles, to identify and neutralize threats from afar. The primary objective of missile defense is to protect a nation’s territory, military assets, and civilian populations from missile attacks, which may be launched by hostile states or terrorist groups. Missile defense systems can be land-based, sea-based, or airborne, and they often involve multi-layered approaches to enhance effectiveness against different types of missile threats. The effectiveness and strategic implications of missile defense remain subjects of debate among defense analysts, policymakers, and military strategists.
