👉 The Denver Missiles, also known as the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system, are a U.S. missile defense system designed to intercept and destroy ballistic missiles in their terminal phase, typically at high altitudes. Developed by Lockheed Martin, these interceptors are launched from mobile or stationary platforms and utilize advanced sensors and guidance systems to identify and target incoming threats. The Denver Missiles are strategically positioned to provide layered defense against missile attacks, particularly from North Korea, by covering critical areas in the Denver metropolitan region. They represent a significant advancement in missile defense technology, offering rapid response capabilities and enhanced protection against short-range and medium-range ballistic threats.
