Ballistic Missile Defense Terminal Defense Segment

Abstract

The Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Terminal Defense Segment provides vital forward-deployable capabilities to support regional defensive BMD operations. The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system provides Combatant Commanders a globally-transportable, rapidly-deployable capability to intercept and destroy short-range, medium-range, and limited intermediate-range missile threats inside or outside the atmosphere during terminal phase of flight. Continued development and integration will provide enhanced debris mitigation capability, improved interoperability with other BMDS elements, and training devices to support the THAAD Institutional Training Base. This Program Element also investigates concepts and performs systems engineering to address emerging threats.
