The Missile Defense Agency

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is a United States government organization responsible for developing and deploying systems to detect, track, and intercept incoming ballistic missiles. Its primary goal is to protect the U.S. and its allies from missile threats, particularly from hostile nations. The MDA works on advanced technologies, including radar systems and interceptor missiles, to create a layered defense strategy. By anticipating and addressing these threats, the agency aims to enhance national security and deter potential missile attacks.
