Meet America's THAAD: One of the world's most advanced missile-defense systems that has China spooked

President Barack Obama and South Korean President Park Geun-hye met on Friday to discuss potential threats from China and North Korea.

In a conflict with either country, South Korea would benefit from the potential US deployment of Lockheed Martin's Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system in the country.

With its unmatched precision and mobility, THAAD can hunt and blast incoming missiles right out of the sky with a 100% success rate. In short, you don't want this aimed at your backyard.
