👉 Canada's missile defense system, known as the Aegis Ashore and later the Canadian Phalanx SPS (Surface-to-Air Missile System), is designed to intercept and neutralize ballistic missiles in the midcourse and terminal phases of their flight. The system primarily uses surface-based Phalanx SPS missile systems, which are capable of engaging targets at altitudes up to 80 kilometers. Additionally, Canada has invested in the Aegis Combat System's Aegis BMD (Ballistic Missile Defense) capabilities, which can detect and track incoming threats, providing early warning and enabling the deployment of interceptors. This comprehensive approach aims to protect Canada from potential missile threats, enhancing national security and regional stability.
