The work of the Air and Missile Defense business area enhances the operational capabilities of DoD systems that defend against high-performance cruise and ballistic missiles and threat aircraft in both oversea and overland environments. We provide practical solutions to emerging AMD challenges to ensure that the U.S. Navy and other military forces can defend themselves and others. Our work comprises research, development, engineering, and test and evaluation of current and future air defense and related systems and technologies. This work was the Applied Physics Laboratory’s core purpose 60 years ago, and we are continuing to make critical contributions today—and for tomorrow.
