Anti-Aircraft Warfare refers to military strategies and technologies designed to defend against enemy aircraft. This includes a variety of systems such as surface-to-air missiles, anti-aircraft guns, and radar systems that detect and track incoming threats. The goal is to protect ground forces, critical infrastructure, and civilian areas from aerial attacks. The development of anti-aircraft systems has evolved significantly since World War I, with advancements in technology leading to more effective and precise methods of interception. Modern air defense systems often integrate with command and control networks to provide real-time responses to aerial threats, enhancing overall military effectiveness.
