THAAD is a kinetic energy weapon (non-nuclear) used to destroy mid range ballistic missiles. I actually work at the company that builds balistic missiles as targets for THAAD. Just last August the remote THAAD was tested and successful. THAAD systems had to be hard-wired to their target acquisition system. The remote THAAD can be located away from the acquisition system.
