The Ballistic Missile Defense Organization is developing the Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) weapon system to counter theater ballistic missiles. In this report, we are providing information on (1) the expected cost, schedule, and acquisition quantities of THAAD; (2) the relationship envisioned for the capabilities of THAAD, Patriot Advanced Capability-Three (PAC-3), and a National Missile Defense system; (3) the relationship of range-to peak reentry velocity for ballistic missiles against which systems such as THAAD would defend; and (4) the ranges and types of ballistic missiles of developing countries.
