Terminal High Altitude Area Defense
Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD - formerly "Theater High Altitude Area Defense") is a United States Army project to develop an anti-ballistic missile defense system, against theater or regional threats. The THAAD system is intended to engage incoming missiles by firing its own interceptor missile at the threat, which are then destroyed by colliding with them, utilizing hit-to-kill-technology.
