👉 Align missiles, also known as Aegis Ashore or Aegis BMD Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GBMD) systems, are advanced missile defense systems designed to intercept and destroy ballistic missiles in various phases of flight. These systems are typically deployed on land-based platforms, such as mobile or stationary towers, and utilize the existing naval missile defense infrastructure of the U.S. Navy's Aegis Combat System. Align missiles are equipped with sophisticated radar and tracking technologies to detect incoming missiles, calculate their trajectories, and deploy interceptors—usually cruise missiles or short-range ballistic missiles—to neutralize the threat. The primary goal of Align missile systems is to provide a robust defense against short- and medium-range ballistic threats, enhancing national security by protecting critical infrastructure and military assets.
