Ground-based Midcourse Defense, Ground-based ballistic missile defense system, Air DefenseAir DefenseGround-based Midcourse DefenseGround-based ballistic missile defense systemGround-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) is the U.S. homeland ballistic missile defense system built around silo-launched Ground-Based Interceptors, missile-defense command networks, and long-range sensor inputs. Boeing has led GMD integration since 1998, while Army operators and MDA test reporting show the system's current public record is readiness testing and homeland-defense alert posture rather than documented combat employment.
MdCN / SCALP Naval, Ship- and submarine-launched land-attack cruise missile, ArtilleryArtilleryMdCN / SCALP NavalShip- and submarine-launched land-attack cruise missileMdCN, also called SCALP Naval or NCM, is MBDA's French naval cruise missile for precision land attack from FREMM frigates and Barracuda/Suffren-class submarines. MBDA describes the weapon as a very-long-range, metric-accuracy deep-strike missile launched either from A70 SYLVER vertical cells or 21-inch submarine torpedo tubes, and French forces used it operationally during the April 2018 U.S., UK, and French strikes in the 2011 Syrian Civil War.
MIM-104 Patriot, Long-range surface-to-air and ballistic missile defense system, Air DefenseAir DefenseMIM-104 PatriotLong-range surface-to-air and ballistic missile defense systemThe MIM-104 Patriot is a U.S.-origin, truck-mobile air and missile defense system built around phased-array radar, command-and-control vehicles, launchers, power generation, antenna masts, support vehicles, and PAC-2 or PAC-3 interceptor families. Developed from the 1960s SAM-D program, it evolved from aircraft defense into a high-value air and missile defense layer used in Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, Yemen, Ukraine, Gulf base defense, and reported 2026 Iran-war drone defense over Bahrain.
