Space-Based Missile Defense

Space-Based Missile Defense refers to systems designed to detect and intercept ballistic missiles using satellites positioned in space. These satellites can track missiles shortly after launch, providing early warning and guidance to interceptors that may be located on the ground or in the air. The goal is to protect against potential missile attacks by neutralizing threats before they reach their targets. This technology is complex and involves advanced sensors and missile interception systems, aiming to enhance national security by creating a layered defense strategy against aerial threats.
