THAAD Missile Defence System

The deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system to Israel marks a decisive shift in West Asia’s missile defence architecture. THAAD Missile Defence System is a Military Intelligence Report that breaks down the system’s operational capabilities, strategic value, and the wider geopolitical consequences of its activation in a high-risk theatre.

This report explains how THAAD functions as a high-end ballistic missile defence platform, intercepting threats in the terminal phase using kinetic kill technology rather than explosive warheads. It details core components such as the AN/TPY-2 radar, launcher configurations, interceptor capacity, and command-and-control integration with layered systems like Iron Dome and David’s Sling. Together, these capabilities significantly enhance Israel’s ability to counter long-range missile threats from Iran, including Shahab-class and next-generation systems.

Beyond hardware, the report assesses strategic implications: deepening U.S.–Israel defence synergy, strain on limited U.S. global THAAD inventories, escalation risks with Iran, and the danger of missile saturation attacks combined with drones and cyber operations. Scenario analysis evaluates deterrence stability versus regional destabilisation.

Designed for defence professionals, policymakers, analysts, strategic planners, and security institutions, this product converts technical systems into actionable strategic insight.

Missile defence decisions reshape regional balances long before conflict erupts. Following Global Eye Intelligence ensures you stay ahead of these shifts—before capability deployments harden into irreversible strategic realities.
