(U) The Ground Based Missile Defense category addresses systems designed to intercept ballistic missiles in flight. These systems are provide protection of U.S. territory, deployed troops, and allies. The diverse nature of the threat leads to the use of a "family of systems" approach. The family of systems approach uses a defense in depth strategy, utilizing both lower-tier -- those systems that intercept at relatively low altitudes within the atmosphere -- and upper-tier systems -- those that intercept missile targets outside the atmosphere and at longer ranges.
