What is the SHIELD program?
The SHIELD program is a strategic initiative by the MDA to develop a layered defense system that can adapt to evolving threats and protect the homeland. By bringing together a wide array of vendors with specialized skills and capabilities, the program aims to create a robust and scalable defense architecture that can effectively counter a variety of threats.
