Ballistic Missile Defense Terminal Defense Segment

Abstract

The Ballistic Missile Defense Terminal Defense Segment provides vital forward-deployable capabilities to support regional defensive Missile Defense System operations. The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system provides Combatant Commands 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. This Program Element investigates concepts and continues the development and integration of multiple, independent THAAD system upgrades to improve reliability, availability and readiness, defense planning, and improved capability to engage short-range ballistic missile, medium-range ballistic missile, and limited intermediate-range ballistic missile threats.
