👉 Backed missiles, also known as ballistic missile defense systems or interceptor missiles, are advanced defensive technologies designed to detect, track, and neutralize incoming ballistic missiles before they can reach their targets. These systems typically use a combination of sensors, including radar and infrared detectors, to identify incoming threats. Once detected, the missile's guidance system calculates the optimal intercept trajectory, and the missile itself is equipped with engines and a warhead capable of destroying or disabling the incoming threat. Backed missiles can be part of national defense strategies, aiming to protect against ballistic missile attacks by providing a first line of defense before the missiles can engage their intended targets.
