THAAD System Intercepts MRBM Target During Missile Defense Flight Test | FTT-23
The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system successfully intercepted a medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) target in a missile defense test led by the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and supported by the U.S. Army, on August 30, 2019.
This was the first time the THAAD system used a government-developed remote launcher kit that extended the range of the defended area.
During the test, designated Flight Test THAAD (FTT-23), the THAAD system located at U.S. Army Garrison Kwajalein Atoll in the Republic of the Marshall Islands successfully detected, tracked and intercepted a threat representative target using a THAAD launcher that was positioned at distance from the other THAAD end items.
