Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), formerly Theater High Altitude Area Defense, is an American anti-ballistic missile defense system designed to intercept and destroy short-, medium-, and intermediate-range ballistic missiles in their terminal phase (descent or reentry).

The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) element provides the Missile Defense System with a globally-transportable, rapidly-deployable capability to intercept and destroy ballistic missiles inside or outside the atmosphere during their final, or terminal, phase of flight.

2021年6月30日 · Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) is a transportable system that intercepts ballistic missiles during their final, or terminal, phase of flight. It incorporates an X-band radar, the AN/TPY-2, and a single-stage, hit-to-kill interceptor to defeat ballistic missiles inside or outside of the atmosphere.

2023年5月16日 · THAAD is a highly effective, combat-proven defense capability against short, medium and intermediate-range ballistic missile threats, and is the only U.S. system designed to intercept targets outside and inside the atmosphere.

2024年10月17日 · According to the Department of Defense (DOD), the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system (Figure 1) is a key element of U.S. ballistic missile defense (BMD). THAAD employs interceptor missiles, using “hit-to …

THAAD provides a transportable, rapidly deployable ground-based regional missile defense capability to intercept and destroy short, medium, and intermediate-range ballistic missiles in the terminal or final phase of flight.

According to the Department of Defense (DOD), the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system (Figure 1) is a key element of U.S. ballistic missile defense (BMD). THAAD employs interceptor missiles, using “hit-to-kill” technology, to destroy threat missiles.

2024年10月14日 · Using a combination of advanced radar systems and interceptors, THAAD, short for Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense, is the only US missile defense system that can engage and destroy short-,...

The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) Weapon System is a key element of the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS). The system’s threat set includes short-range, medium-range, and limited intermediate-range ballistic missile threats. Each THAAD battery includes five major components: interceptors, launchers, a radar, a fire

THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) is a mobile missile defense system designed to intercept medium-range ballistic missiles and other airborne threats at high altitudes. The system was developed by Lockheed Martin and is part of the United States missile defense system.
