defense network

Interconnected security apparatus

A defense network is an interconnected system of military installations, surveillance equipment, or protective measures designed to detect and respond to threats.

The term applies to missile defense networks, air defense networks, and cybersecurity systems: The country's defense network detected the incoming aircraft.

More broadly, any coordinated protective system—biological, organizational, or technological—may be called a defense network.
