MISSION & FUNCTION
Air and Missile Defense is one of the Army’s top modernization priorities and is critical to winning in a fight against a ”Great Power” adversary. The AMD force must retain the ability to defeat the full range of air and missile threats. The Army will achieve its objectives through its AMD modernization strategy – to rapidly integrate and synchronize the requirements development process, acquisition process and resources to deliver AMD capabilities to the warfighter faster.
