National Missile Defense (NMD)

National Missile Defense (NMD) refers to a system designed to protect a country from incoming ballistic missiles, which could be armed with nuclear, chemical, or biological warheads. It involves various technologies, such as radar and interceptors, to detect and destroy missiles during their flight. The goal of NMD is to enhance national security by preventing potential attacks and mitigating threats from adversaries. While its effectiveness is debated, NMD represents a key component of defense strategies for countries seeking to safeguard their territory and population from missile threats.
