The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) is conducting market research to determine interest and capability for sources to support modernization efforts for the US Government’s (USG) THAAD batteries ground components.

Installation of 30 Launcher kits will be into 30 THAAD Launcher HEMTTs that have already been modernized. The THAAD Weapon System provides Combatant Commanders a globally transportable, rapidly-deployable capability to intercept and destroy short-range, medium-range, and limited intermediate-range ballistic missile threats inside or outside the atmosphere during terminal phase of flight.
