Aegis BMD

Aegis BMD (Ballistic Missile Defense) is a system used by the U.S. Navy to detect and intercept incoming short- and medium-range ballistic missiles before they reach their targets. It involves advanced radar and radar tracking systems on ships and ashore, which identify threats early. When a missile is detected, the system launches a interceptor missile to destroy the threat mid-air, preventing damage or loss of life. Aegis BMD is a key component of national defense, providing rapid, flexible protection against missile threats in key strategic areas.
