Defending your airspace from incoming threats is a basic need for any armed forces.
But simply having one good missile defense system will not be enough, especially with the constantly advancing missile technology that militaries are employing these days. What you need is a multilayer missile defense system that can give you a much higher level of protection from all directions and from all ranges.
Defense against Long Range Threats
In conflicts where nations or large regions are engaged, attack missiles can come from long distances. You must have a system that is capable of early detection and accurate targeting to be able to take these threats out before they get close to their target.
Defense against Bombers, Helicopters and other Aircraft
This kind of missile defense system should be capable of short-range to long-range targeting and homing. Most battle aircraft move very quickly and can change direction in a blink of an eye so this system must also be capable of rapid reaction in order to keep up.
Defense against Drones
They might seem small and harmless but drones are actually very powerful weapons capable of delivering massive amounts of information about your camp back to the enemy in an instant. They can let your adversaries know your secret locations, the size of your army, and so on, enabling them to plan a better attack. Thus, your missile defense system should be able to eliminate these drones as soon as you detect them.
Defense against Possible Threats
You can never be too cautious in the world of warfare. If there is something in your airfield that might be a threat, you should be able to detect it and prepare the corresponding defense. Quick and accurate detection of these threats is part of the basic duties of any reliable missile defense system.
