National Missile Defense

National Missile Defense (NMD) is a system designed to detect, track, and intercept incoming ballistic missiles before they reach a country's territory. It includes sensors, command centers, and interceptor missiles that work together to neutralize threats, such as nuclear or conventional missile attacks. NMD aims to provide protection against missile launches from hostile states or groups, enhancing national security by preventing potential damage and loss of life. While technologically complex and not foolproof, the system acts as a defensive shield to reduce the risk of missile-based attacks.
