Project Nike was a U.S. military program initiated in the 1940s designed to develop a ground-based air defense system to protect against potential aerial attacks, primarily from the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The project focused on creating a network of guided missiles and radar systems to intercept enemy aircraft. Named after the Greek goddess of victory, Nike, the program resulted in the development of several missile systems, the most notable being the Nike Ajax and later the Nike Hercules.
