Missile Defense Agency

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is a U.S. government agency responsible for developing and managing systems aimed at detecting and intercepting incoming ballistic missiles. Its goal is to protect the U.S. and allied nations from missile threats by employing various technologies, including radar and missile interceptors. The agency conducts research, testing, and deployment of defense systems to counter threats from countries that may use missiles for warfare. By integrating advanced technologies and collaborating with other defense entities, the MDA works to enhance national security against missile attacks.
