The motto in Latin: Custos Custodum Ipsorum means "Guard of the Guardians Themselves" in English. The Aegis ballistic missile defense system (Aegis BMD or ABMD), [1] also known as Sea-Based Midcourse, is a Missile Defense Agency program under the United States Department of Defense developed to provide missile defense against short and intermediate-range ballistic missiles.
Initially under Phase 2 program, AD-1 was designed to neutralize a medium-range ballistic missile at 1,000-3,000 km range, whereas AD-2 was for intercepting a intermediate-range ballistic missile at 3,000-5,500 km range. [61] However, according to Samir V. Kamat, AD-1 can now intercept an incoming missile fired from a distance of 5,000 km. [62]

The BMD-1 has an unconventional layout for an IFV. From the front to the back of the vehicle, the compartments are located in the following formation: steering, fighting, troop, and engine. This is because the BMD-1 is based on Ob'yekt 914, which in turn is based on the PT-76 amphibious light tank (refer to BMP development § Prototypes for ...
In air and missile defense (AMD), the Integrated Air-and-Missile Defense system (IAMD) is an United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC) research program to augment the aging surface-to-air missile defense systems and to provide the United States Army with a low-cost, but effective complement to kinetic energy solutions to take out air threats.
Many regional feeds (such as AFN-Europe and AFN-Korea) are based on AFN Prime and add local programming to it; thus, in a way, AFN Prime mimics the regular network TV concept. AFN Prime Freedom started in 2006 as a customized time-shifted version of AFN Prime for Afghanistan [ 48 ] and shuttered services in June 2013 after the drawdown of ...

[8] The A-135 system attained "alert" (operational) status on February 17, 1995.
