👉 Chase missiles are advanced, guided weapon systems designed to intercept and destroy incoming ballistic missiles in flight. Equipped with sophisticated sensors, including radar and infrared technologies, these missiles can detect and track their targets at long distances, even in adverse weather conditions. Once a target is identified, the missile's guidance system calculates the precise trajectory to intercept, often using a combination of inertial navigation and real-time data adjustments. Upon engagement, the missile fires a high-speed projectile, typically a kinetic energy weapon or an explosive warhead, which is intended to incapacitate or destroy the incoming missile. Modern chase missiles are integral components of missile defense systems worldwide, providing a critical layer of protection against potential ballistic threats.
