missile base
Weapons deployment site
A missile base is a military installation where missiles are stored, maintained, and launched.
These facilities house intercontinental ballistic missiles, surface-to-air missiles, or other guided weapons systems, often with underground silos, command centers, and support infrastructure: The Cold War saw missile bases built across the Great Plains.
