China has been objecting to the presence of the US THAAD missile defence system in South Korea.
About:
THAAD is an acronym for Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, a transportable, ground-based missile defense system.
THAAD is coupled with space-based and ground-based surveillance stations, which transfer data about the incoming missile and informs the THAAD interceptor missile of the threat type classification. THAAD is alarmed about incoming missiles by space-based satellites with infrared sensors.
This anti-ballistic missile defense system has been designed and manufactured by the US company Lockheed Martin.
It has been deployed in the South Korea, UAE, Guam, Israel and Romania. In South Korea, the THAAD missile defense system is operated by the US army stationed in its army base in Osan, South Korea.
