THAAD

THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) is a missile defense system designed to detect, track, and intercept short- and medium-range ballistic missiles during their final flight phase. It uses powerful radar and advanced missiles to destroy incoming threats high above the Earth, preventing them from reaching their targets. THAAD is deployed to protect military installations, cities, or strategic areas from missile attacks, providing a crucial layer of defense by intercepting missiles early in their trajectory. Its effectiveness relies on precise tracking and rapid response to defend against evolving missile threats.
