Home›Missiles And Guided Munitions›Surface-to-Air and Air Defense MissilesGroupSurface-to-Air and Air Defense MissilesThis group collects the Missiles And Guided Munitions subcategory's ground- and ship-based air defense missile systems: surface-to-air missile systems of every range band from short-range point defense to long-range and mobile theater systems, anti-ballistic missile and exoatmospheric interceptor systems, and naval shipboard air defense missiles. With 69 attested members this is the subcategory's second-largest subtype, reflecting the wide range of national air defense architectures fielded since the mid-twentieth century. Shoulder-fired, individually carried systems are classified separately under the sibling Man-Portable Air Defense Systems group, since their scale and doctrine differ from a vehicle- or installation-based air defense system.FactsBrowse BySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1954 1Browse ByAll Surface-to-Air and Air Defense MissilesSurface-to-Air and Air Defense Missiles86 entriesSurface-to-Air and Air Defense MissilesFilter Results91 entriesWeapon ClassAllGuided Missile (87)Howitzer / Artillery (1)Sword / Polearm / Bladed (1)Weapon FamilyAllSurface-to-Air and Air Defense Missiles (86)Introduced EraAll1540 (1)1945 (1)1954 (1)1955 (1)1956 (1)1957 (1)1958 (2)1959 (2)1961 (2)1962 (2)1964 (1)1967 (2)1968 (4)1969 (1)1970 (3)1971 (2)1972 (2)1973 (1)1975 (1)1976 (1)1977 (1)1978 (1)1979 (1)1980 (1)1981 (1)1984 (2)1986 (3)1988 (2)1992 (2)1995 (2)1997 (2)1998 (1)1999 (1)2001 (1)2002 (1)2003 (1)2004 (1)2005 (1)2006 (1)2007 (4)2008 (1)2010 (2)2011 (1)2012 (1)2013 (3)2014 (1)2015 (3)2017 (3)2019 (3)2020 (1)2021 (2)ManufacturerAllAerospace Industries Organization (1)Almaz-Antey (3)BAe Dynamics (3)Bell Aircraft Corporation (1)Bell Labs (3)Bendix Corporation (1)Bharat Dynamics Limited (2)Bharat Electronics (2)Boeing Defense, Space & Security (2)China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation Limited (1)China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (1)Convair (1)Cugir Arms Factory (1)Defence Research and Development Organisation (1)Defense Industries Organization (1)Degtyarev plant (1)Denel Dynamics (1)Diehl Defence (2)Douglas (3)English Electric (1)Euromissile (1)Eurosam (1)Fonderie de Ruelle (1)Frankford Arsenal (1)General Dynamics Corporation (2)Hanwha Aerospace (3)Hanwha Group (1)Hawker Siddeley (1)Henschel & Sohn (1)Hercules Inc.
