Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), formerly Theater High Altitude Area Defense, is an American anti-ballistic missile defense system, deployed since 2008, designed to intercept and destroy short-, medium-, and intermediate-range ballistic missiles in their terminal phase. The THAAD interceptor carries no warhead, instead relying on its kinetic energy of impact to destroy the incoming missile. THAAD was developed after the experience of Iraq's Scud missile attacks during the Gulf War in 1991.

NASAMS (National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System, also known as Norwegian Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System) is a short- to medium-range ground-based air defense system developed by Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KDA) and RTX Corporation. The system defends against unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), helicopters, cruise missiles, unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs), and fixed wing aircraft, firing any of a wide range of existing missiles.

The AN/SPY-6 is an active electronically scanned array (AESA) 3D radar system developed and built by RTX Corporation, and in service with the United States Navy (USN). It provides integrated air and missile defense for Flight III s. Variants are under development for retrofitting Flight IIA Arleigh Burkes and for installation aboard s, s, s (LHA-8 and future), and s. The first delivery of the AN/SPY-6 to the USN took place on 20 July 2020.

The M-SAM (Medium-range Surface-to-Air Missile; Skybolt; ), or KM-SAM, is a South Korean medium range surface-to-air missile (SAM) system that was developed by the Agency for Defense Development (ADD) with technical support from Almaz-Antey and Fakel, based on technology from the 9M96 missile used on S-350E and S-400 missile systems. Originally designated as Cheolmae-2 (Iron Hawk; ) during its development phase, the system was officially renamed Cheongung upon completion. M-SAM serves as a key system in South Korea's Korean Air and Missile Defense (KAMD).

FN-6 (; NATO reporting name: CH-SA-10) is a third-generation passive infrared homing (IR) man portable air defence system (MANPADS) built by Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology (SAST) of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC). Developed from the HN-5 missile, the FN-6 missile is an export-oriented product and one of China's most advanced shoulder-fired surface-to-air missile offered on the international market. Specially designed to engage low-flying targets, it has a range of and a maximum altitude of .

The KS-1 or Kaishan-1 (), military designation HQ-12 (; NATO reporting name: CH-SA-12) is the first Chinese surface-to-air missile to adopt a phased array radar.

SAMP/T (Sol-Air Moyenne-Portée/Terrestre, French for "Surface-to-Air Medium-Range/Land-based") is a mobile surface-to-air missile (SAM) system developed as a joint French-Italian project. It is capable of defending against aircraft, cruise missiles, and tactical ballistic missiles. In September 2025, Denmark announced that it would be purchasing two SAMP/T systems as the long-range component of its integrated ground-based air defence systems.

Oko (Old ) is a Russian (previously Soviet) missile defence early warning programme consisting of satellites in Molniya and geosynchronous orbits. Oko satellites are used to identify launches of ballistic missiles by detection of their engines' exhaust plume in infrared light, and complement other early warning facilities such as Voronezh, Daryal and Dnepr radars. The information provided by these sensors can be used for the A-135 anti-ballistic missile system which defends Moscow. The satellites are run by the Russian Aerospace Forces, and previously the Russian Aerospace Defence Forces and R

Terra-3 (Russian: терра–3) was a Soviet laser testing centre, located on the Sary Shagan anti-ballistic missile (ABM) testing range in the Karaganda Region of Kazakhstan. It was originally built to test missile defence concepts, but these attempts were dropped after the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty was signed. The site later hosted two modest devices used primarily for experiments in space tracking. Several other laser test sites were also active during this period. During the 1980s, officials within the United States Department of Defense (DoD) suggested it was the site of a prototypical ant
