Ground-Based Interceptors (GBIs)

Ground-Based Interceptors (GBIs) are specialized missiles launched from land-based facilities to destroy incoming enemy rockets or ballistic missiles before they reach their targets. Using advanced radar and defense systems, GBIs are designed to detect, track, and intercept threats in mid-flight, usually in the upper atmosphere or near space. They are a key part of missile defense strategies, providing a defensive layer to protect countries from potential missile attacks. GBIs work in conjunction with sensors and command centers to ensure rapid and accurate responses against threats.
