It shows its vast application has to include shorter-ranged non-nuclear tactical and theater missiles. Missile defense can be categorized into  various characteristics that include type or range of missile intercepted. Each necessitate unique requirements for intercept, and a defensive system capable of intercepting one missile cannot intercept others. the types of missile defense intercepted includes strategic, theater and tactical. Strategic involves targets long-range that  travel at about 7 km/s. Theater targets medium-range missiles that travel at about 3 km/s. Tactical targets short-range tactical ballistic missiles, that usually travel at less than 1.5 km/s.
