North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is a joint organization of the United States and Canada which provides aerospace warning and aerospace control for North America. It was founded on May 12, 1958, under the name North American Air Defense Command. From 1963, NORAD's main technical facility has been located at Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado.
While the terms "NORAD" and "Cheyenne Mountain" are often used interchangeably to describe the facility, NORAD is the name of the Command, while Cheyenne Mountain is the name of the facility. The facility is hosted by the U.S. Air Force, under the command of the 721st Mission Support Group, part of the 21st Space Wing , headquartered at Peterson Air Force Base.

Originally, North American Air Defense Command, later changed to North American Aerospace Defense Command as emphasis shifted to the threats from high atmosphere weapons such as missiles and satellites.
