Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), formerly Theater High Altitude Area Defense, is a US Army missile defense system designed to shoot down short, medium and medium range ballistic missiles in their final phase using the "hit to kill" method. an approach. The missile does not carry a warhead, but relies on the kinetic energy of the impact to destroy the incoming missile. A kinetic energy hit minimizes the risk of exploding ballistic missiles with conventional warheads, and nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles will not explode on a kinetic energy hit, although chemical or biological warheads can decay or explode and pose a risk of environmental pollution.
