Korean Air and Missile Defense

The KAMD (Korean Air and Missile Defense; Korean: 한국형 미사일 방어 체계) is a multilayered air defense system being developed by South Korea. It integrates command, detection, and interception systems to provide comprehensive protection. It consists of LAMD, M-SAM, L-SAM, etc. KAMD is a key component of South Korea's three-axis defense strategy, designed to counter North Korea's nuclear threats. With this system, South Korea becomes the third nation—following the U.S. and Israel—to field a comprehensive, multilayered air defense network capable of intercepting threats from the ground to space altitudes using indigenous systems equipped with Hit-to-Kill technology.
