Ground-based Interceptors

Ground-based interceptors are missile systems positioned on land that are designed to detect and destroy incoming threats, such as enemy missiles or warheads, before they reach their target. They work by launching quickly after detecting an incoming missile, guiding themselves to collide with the target in mid-air, neutralizing the threat. These interceptors are part of missile defense systems, providing a protective shield for territories or countries against potential missile attacks, especially from long-range or intercontinental ballistic missiles. Their purpose is to prevent damage, save lives, and maintain national security through layered defense.
