Doctrine for Sea-Based Missile Defense

The Doctrine for Sea-Based Missile Defense refers to strategies and guidelines the military uses to protect against missile threats using ships at sea. These systems, like Aegis, utilize radar and interceptors to detect and destroy incoming missiles before they reach their targets. This approach leverages the mobility and flexibility of naval forces, allowing them to adapt to various threats, from short-range projectiles to longer-range missiles. By using ships stationed in strategic locations, this doctrine enhances national security and helps safeguard allied nations from potential attacks.
