Which AMD systems combine theater level assets?

Which AMD systems combine theater level assets?

• A. Patriot and THAAD
• B. Patriot alone
• C. THAAD alone
• D. Iron Dome

Answer: (A)

The idea is theater-wide defense built from multiple systems that cover a broad range of threats. THAAD provides high-altitude, long-range ballistic missile defense, while Patriot handles mid-range air defense, intercepting aircraft, cruise missiles, and some missiles. Together, they create a layered, theater-scale capability that can be integrated and coordinated across a wide area. Iron Dome is a shorter-range, point-defense system and isn’t designed to deliver theater-level coverage. Patriot or THAAD alone don’t offer the full breadth of theater-scale protection that their combination provides.
