Missile Defense Integration and Operations Center

The Missile Defense Integration and Operations Center is a military facility at Schriever Space Force Base in Colorado Springs that coordinates national ballistic missile defense systems. The center manages the technical integration of various defense components and monitors their interaction during live operations.

The facility was established in 1988 from the Joint National Test Facility and developed into the primary integration hub for missile defense operations. Since then it has continuously expanded its role within the national defense structure.

Engineers, analysts, and military personnel from different branches work together at the center to develop defensive strategies against missile threats.

The facility conducts regular simulations and tests to evaluate missile defense system performance. Visitors should know this is a highly secured military installation where access and tours are subject to strict security protocols.

The facility directs defensive procedures through advanced battle management systems that make decisions in real time. These systems allow immediate response to potential threats.
