Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM)

An Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) is a defense system designed to intercept and destroy incoming ballistic missiles, which are weapons that travel high into the atmosphere before descending towards their targets. ABMs use advanced radar and tracking systems to detect and engage these threats during their flight. The goal of an ABM is to protect cities, military bases, and other critical infrastructure from potential missile attacks, thereby enhancing national security. ABM systems are part of a broader defense strategy that includes various technologies aimed at deterrence and protection against missile threats.
