An anti-missile missile for preventing an incoming threat missile from impacting a target without requiring impact of the anti-missile missile with the incoming threat missile. The incoming threat missile is provided with a guidance and control system disposed for receiving a source of guidance energy from an external source for guiding the threat missile to impact with the target. The anti-missile missile includes a body having a container carried thereby and a shield device carried in the container for ejection from the container in the vicinity of the threat missile. The shield device is disposed for controlling the amount of guidance energy received by the guidance and control system thereby rendering the guidance and control system ineffective to guide the threat missile to the target. An ejection device is provided for ejecting the shield device in the vicinity of the threat missile.
