Abstract

The essence of the main stages of creation and development of the missile defense system by the United States of America is revealed. The main driving force for the development of the missile defense system is constantly the missile threat. In the initial stages, the main tasks of the missile defense system were to protect certain important facilities and the largest American cities from Soviet ballistic missiles. In the future, the emphasis was on the creation of missile defense of the national territory from a massive nuclear missile strike or the creation of missile defense systems of the theater of operations. At the present stage, the United States plans to create a global tiered missile defense system to protect American territory from a limited number of intercontinental ballistic missiles and regional missile defense systems to protect US allies and deployed US troops from medium-range and short-range ballistic missiles.
