Ground-based Midcourse Defense, Ground-based ballistic missile defense system, Air Defense

Air DefenseGround-based Midcourse DefenseGround-based ballistic missile defense systemSide: UnknownBuilt: Boeing / United StatesGround-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.

Long Range Discrimination Radar, Long-range ballistic-missile discrimination radar, Air Defense

Air DefenseLong Range Discrimination RadarLong-range ballistic-missile discrimination radarSide: UnknownBuilt: Lockheed Martin / United StatesLong Range Discrimination Radar is a Lockheed Martin-built, solid-state GaN S-band AESA radar at Clear Space Force Station, Alaska. Its public record centers on homeland missile-defense sensing: operational acceptance in 2025, space-domain data collection, and FTX-26a live-target tracking that fed C2BMC for a simulated Ground-Based Midcourse Defense engagement.

NASAMS, Medium-range surface-to-air missile system, Air Defense

Support EquipmentC2BMCBallistic missile defense command-and-control systemSide: Unconfirmed conflict contextBuilt: Lockheed Martin / United StatesC2BMC is Lockheed Martin's U.S. missile-defense command-and-control architecture for the Missile Defense Agency. It links sensors, interceptors, and commanders into a layered ballistic-missile-defense network, with workstations fielded across U.S. defense commands and a continuing C2BMC-Next modernization effort.

Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2), Data-centric command-and-control prototype, Support Equipment

Support EquipmentNext Generation Command and Control (NGC2)Data-centric command-and-control prototypeSide: UnknownBuilt: Lockheed Martin / United StatesNext Generation Command and Control (NGC2) is a U.S. Army digital mission-command modernization effort represented here by Lockheed Martin's 25th Infantry Division prototype. Public Army and Lockheed Martin material describes operational training, live-fire experimentation, common-data-layer work, and Balikatan 2026 validation, but does not document combat employment.
