The Congressional Research Service released a report on the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system, a key element of US ballistic missile defense. The system employs interceptor missiles with 'hit-to-kill' technology and can engage targets at ranges of 150-200 kilometers. THAAD covers the BMD middle tier and defends a larger area than other systems.
The THAAD system is a crucial component of US ballistic missile defense, providing a mid-tier defense capability against incoming missiles. Its effectiveness and capabilities are important for national security and defense strategy.
