MDAA is a small nonprofit focused on missile defense advocacy within the defense and space sector. It seeks to build public backing for the testing, development, and deployment of missile defense systems, and to educate the public on missile defense issues and the perceived urgency of addressing them. The organization emphasizes impartiality by operating with a board of directors drawn from outside the defense industry and without financial stakes in government decisions, representing a citizen-oriented perspective. Based in Alexandria, Virginia, MDAA maintains a public-facing blog to share analyses and information on missile defense topics, and it does not promote specific vendors or systems. It positions itself as a neutral intermediary in the field. A recent development is a May 2026 collaboration with the University of Arizona College of Engineering to connect military officers with engineers for rapid, flexible defensive designs aligned with military needs.
