👉 Consensus missiles, also known as networked or coordinated missile systems, are advanced military platforms that utilize a network of sensors, communication links, and command-and-control systems to achieve precise targeting and coordination. These missiles rely on real-time data sharing among various assets, such as ground-based radar, aircraft, satellites, and even unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), to enhance situational awareness and ensure accurate targeting. By integrating information from multiple sources, consensus missiles can effectively counter complex threats, including those with evasive capabilities like cruise missiles or drones. This collaborative approach allows for more reliable and timely decision-making, ultimately improving the effectiveness of missile defense systems and reducing the risk of friendly fire incidents.
