#3 THAAD
The THAAD battery will typically operate nine launch vehicles each carrying eight missiles, with two mobile tactical operations centers (TOCs) and a ground-based radar (GBR).

Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) of the THAAD missile system, up to 40 missiles a year, is currently planned to occur around 2007.
