MDAA Alert: Our Partnership with the University of Arizona
In a landmark collaboration on October 19th, the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance and the University of Arizona have taken a significant step forward in shaping the future of near-space studies. On October 19th, they formalized their commitment by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to establish Arizona Near Space Studies Institute (ANSSI). This groundbreaking program represents a response to the challenges facing our World Order and seeks to prepare future leaders to excel in the realm of Near Space Domain Awareness.
During a time of great challenges to our World Order, this program will instruct future leaders to Dominate Near Space Domain Awareness through tracking, sensing and discrimination, fire control communications, and while providing R&D for areas such as High-altitude balloons, Quantum communication and networking, and collaborated space domain awareness.
“This university with this program can lead not only our nation, but the world in this specific area of airspace research and study to make our nation safer and our world safer”

MDAA Alert: Building Missile Defense Capability with Urgency
“Good afternoon from Woodside, California, one of the centers of the world of innovation. It’s so remarkable today that last Friday, our President, Joe Biden, spoke, advocated, and led our nation for missile defense. His speech requiring $105 billion to give to our allies and partners—Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan—is the second time a president has made an appeal to the American public for Missile Defense as a critical part of deterrent of a World War, of current conflicts in Israel and Ukraine and potential conflicts in the Pacific.
As we look at the world, we look at these different regions. It is no longer a regional issue. It is a global issue. As you saw, I think the Wall Street Journal wrote about it, but we are positioning, taking our time to get the missile defense assets in place in case there is a conflict and to deter that conflict.
We don’t have much of it. We don’t have the capacity of the capability to defend, and that’s where this discussion is going to go, the urgency of being able to put capacity as soon as possible into these places and to create the already existing capacity with our allies that have big capacities of missile defense like Japan, like Saudi Arabia, like UAE, like Poland. How do we bring all this to bear and take risks?”

Our Story
MDAA is a non-profit organization which seeks to generate public support for the continued testing, development and deployment of missile defense systems to protect our country and our allies. The organization seeks to educate the general public with respect to missile defense issues and the urgent need for it.
MDAA is a non-partisan organization which does not advocate a particular company, system or product. In order to act impartially, MDAA is governed by a Board of Directors which does not have a financial interest in the decisions the United States Government makes with regard to its missile defense systems. Hence, MDAA's Board of Directors is populated with business professionals drawn from outside the defense industry who offer the perspective of citizens who wish to be protected.

MDAA Alert: World Cup Champions
We congratulate the country of Argentina for winning the tournament, and the country of Qatar for making the World Cup safe for the millions of people, in organizing, hosting, and defending them in a monumental historic World sports event. The best offense is a great defense, and the best Team has a great offense with a great defense. The World Cup and Qatar have proven it. The final intense clash between Argentina and France was historic, providing the truth because no matter how fast, how many, and how powerful your strikers might be, if you do not have a strong defense and a good goalkeeper, you cannot win a World Cup Championship. These two countries had the best offensive teams in the entire tournament and ended the game in penalty kicks relying on the goalie to define the winner of the World Cup.
In their protection of the World Cup venues, Qatar deployed a wide formation of defensive systems
Outside Fullbacks – German Gepard Self-Propelled AA Guns, along with British Blowpipe MANPADS were acquired and deployed to defend the stadiums from drones and other low-flying aerial threats.
Center Fullback – The German Skynex system and the Norwegian NASAMS with AARAM and Extended range AARAM interceptors were deployed in key locations for 360 degrees Missile Defense against cruise missiles.
Goalie – The US PATRIOT System. More than 10 batteries were operationally deployed in Qatar.
Qatar also has the best offense in the region – the Al Udeid AFB has since 1999 been part of the Multi-National Combined Air Operations Center (CAOC) for the Arabian Sea and GCC region. The joint base hosts fighter squadrons from the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Qatari Kingdom. It is the largest base in the Middle East region with its own missile defense command and systems.

MDAA Alert: Patriot to Patriot
Today the President of the United States made the strategic decision to send the coveted US Army Patriot Air & Missile Defense capability to Ukraine. Strategically, the President is sending a clear resound message to the world and Russian President Putin that the United States is fully committed to the people of Ukraine and their Defense against Russian Long Distance Fires.
“Today’s assistance for the first time includes the Patriot Air Defense System, capable of bringing down cruise missiles, short range ballistic missiles, and aircraft at a significantly higher ceiling than previously provided air defense systems”
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken White House, December 21, 2022
The Patriot system is unequivocally the most deployed, combat proven and combat ready air and missile defense system that the United States has in its inventory of programs of record. There are currently, in the US Army inventory, 15 Patriot Battalions assigned to combatant commands around the world, and a 16th Battalion approved for future growth. These 15 Battalions, coupled with a number of components which if combined appropriately can make up another additional 1 – 2 Patriot Battalions. Deployed around the world providing defensive fires in support of combat operations in CENTCOM, and forward assigned to combatant commands INDO-PACOM and EUCOM. The Patriot missile defense system is the most demanded combat air & missile defense system in the Department of Defense’s inventory. On top of the challenging high dwell times for the soldiers, there remains a tremendous lack of capacity of Patriot deployed forward – there is only 1 U.S. Patriot battalion currently assigned in Europe today which is inadequate for defending the numerous airbases, command and control locations, maneuver forces, billion dollar depots and other-directed critical assets.

MDAA Alert: "21st Century Warfare: Long Distance Fires- Are We Ready to Defend Against it?"
“Let’s start off with how serious this subject matter is. This morning, Russia fired 76 missiles into critical infrastructures in Ukraine. Most of them cruise missiles, most of them coming from their Tu-95 planes. 40 of them targeted the capitol, Kiev. This is their ninth wave of firing 70 plus missiles. Earlier this week on Monday, China flew 18 H-6 bombers into the Taiwan airspace. This falls of persistent harassment in that area where it’s highlighted on August 4th after Nancy Pelosi visited the island where they flew 69 planes. 49 of them into that Taiwan zone. Since August, North Korea has fired 51 missiles, most of those short range and below. Since February, Russia has fired over 5,000 missiles.”
“This is modern warfare. This is the 21st century way to fight. It’s defined by a couple things. It’s defined by persistent surveillance for almost everything can be seen and everything that is seen can be targeted and everything that’s targeted is done by precision weapons. The opponent is using long distances across all domains, air, land, and sea, to reduce its vulnerability to counter attack. We’re seeing this, and what I just earlier said on cruise missiles and ballistic missiles and some hypersonic missiles that are soon to come forward. We’re here today on what really is the implications of critical national infrastructure being pounded in Ukraine.”
