👉 Competitive missiles, often referred to as anti-satellite (ASAT) weapons or missile defense systems, are advanced military technologies designed to intercept and destroy enemy satellites or other space-based assets. These systems typically include ground-launched ballistic missiles (GLBMs), cruise missiles, and directed-energy weapons like lasers. GLBMs are the most traditional form, capable of carrying large payloads over long distances, while cruise missiles offer greater precision and shorter ranges. Directed-energy weapons, such as lasers, are newer technologies that use concentrated energy to disable or destroy targets. These competitive missiles represent a critical aspect of modern military strategy, enhancing national security by providing capabilities to counter adversarial space operations and protect critical space infrastructure.
