International partnerships in air defense go back to at least World War II, with one example being the United States and United Kingdom working closely on manufacturing magnetrons for use in radars that defended Allied forces from bombing raids. Today, nations face a myriad of diverse and advanced threats that challenge previously held assumptions about threat awareness and defeat capabilities.
This panel discussion explores the complexities of Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) in the context of current events, referencing a recent MITRE paper on the subject. https://www.mitre.org/news-insights/publication/de-risking-us-supply-chains-era-decoupling
