👉 Attended missiles, also known as active defense systems, are advanced missile defense technologies designed to intercept and destroy incoming threats, such as ballistic missiles, in real-time. Unlike passive defense systems that rely solely on detection and tracking, attended missiles incorporate sensors, decision-making algorithms, and launch mechanisms to actively engage and neutralize threats. These systems can track multiple targets simultaneously, determine the best intercept point, and autonomously or semi-autonomously launch countermeasures like interceptors or decoys to neutralize the incoming missiles, providing a dynamic and adaptive defense against evolving missile threats.
