Continental Air Defense

Continental Air Defense refers to the coordinated system of radar, satellites, early warning stations, and interceptor aircraft or missiles that monitor and defend a country's airspace from potential threats such as enemy aircraft or missile attacks. Its goal is to detect, track, and neutralize threats before they reach populated or strategic areas. This defense network operates continuously, integrating technology and military resources to ensure national security and airspace sovereignty. It is a critical component of a nation's overall defense strategy, focusing specifically on maintaining control and safety of the country's continental airspace.
