air defense system

An air defense system is a network of technology, weapons, and sensors designed to detect, track, and intercept airborne threats like aircraft, missiles, or drones. It combines radar, command centers, and weapon systems to protect a nation's airspace. When a threat is detected, the system quickly assesses its danger, and if necessary, launches countermeasures—such as missile interceptors—to neutralize the threat before it reaches its target. Air defense systems are vital for national security, providing layered protection through advanced detection and interception capabilities.
