Anti-aircraft refers to weapons and systems designed to defend against enemy aircraft. These can include guns, missiles, and radar systems that detect and track flying targets. The primary goal of anti-aircraft systems is to protect ground forces, infrastructure, and civilian areas from aerial attacks. Historically, anti-aircraft measures have evolved significantly, especially during major conflicts like World War I and World War II. Modern anti-aircraft systems often incorporate advanced technology, such as surface-to-air missiles and automated targeting systems, to enhance their effectiveness against fast-moving aircraft and drones.
