Why this topic matters
Missile defense is an integration problem before it is an interceptor problem: sensing, fire control, communications and shooters must operate as one architecture across services and domains. Hypersonic and cruise-missile threats have compressed timelines and expanded the sensor requirement, and the industrial base for interceptors is itself a constraint. Defense Signals tracks the commands, test events, contractors and solicitations that show how the architecture is being assembled.
