The U.S. Is Building Its Own Anti-Access Air And Missile Defense System (From RealClearDefense)

April 16, 2018Daniel Gouré, Ph.D.

Over the past several years, much attention has been focused on efforts by this country’s competitors to create an anti-access/area denial environment (A2/AD) designed to defeat U.S. power projection capabilities. A central feature of the canonical A2/AD threat is an integrated air and missile defense.

Since the 1960s, first the Soviet Union and now Russia has invested in a layered system of sensors and interceptors to counter U.S. airpower. Current Russian air and missile defenses consist of multiple overlapping systems, many of which are mobile, that provide coverage at all altitudes. I have written a commentary on this subject for RealClearDefense here.
