U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA)

The U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is a government organization responsible for developing and deploying systems to detect, track, and intercept incoming missiles that may pose a threat to the United States or its allies. Its goal is to provide a layered defense that can protect against a range of missile types, including short-, medium-, and long-range threats. The MDA designs advanced technology such as radar systems, interceptor missiles, and space-based sensors to identify and neutralize potential missile attacks before they reach their targets, enhancing national security and strategic stability.
