Air Defence (AD) systems are sophisticated military installations designed to protect against incoming aerial threats like aircraft, missiles, drones and helicopters. These systems comprise multiple layers of defensive capabilities working together to detect, track, and neutralise airborne dangers.

Modern air defence networks consist of several crucial components. Radar systems serve as the primary detection mechanism, constantly scanning the skies for potential threats. Early warning systems complement radar networks by gathering and processing data about approaching aircraft, missiles, or drones.
