What Does ABM Stand For?
ABM stands for Antiballistic Missile
ABM, or Antiballistic Missile, refers to a type of missile designed to intercept and destroy incoming ballistic missiles, primarily during their midcourse or terminal stages of flight. These systems are integral to national defense strategies, providing a protective shield against potential missile threats and enhancing security against both conventional and nuclear warfare. ABM technologies involve advanced radar, tracking systems, and interception mechanisms to effectively counter missile attacks.
