An Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) is a designated area of airspace over land or water where the identification, location, and control of civilian aircraft are enforced in the interest of national security. These zones are primarily used by countries to monitor and control aircraft approaching their sovereign airspace, especially around borders and sensitive areas. An ADIZ extends beyond a country's territorial airspace, allowing for the identification of aircraft before they enter a country's jurisdiction, thereby providing a buffer zone for early detection and response to potential threats. The concept of ADIZ is particularly relevant in military and defense sectors where maintaining airspace security is crucial. While not regulated by any international body, countries establish ADIZs based on their security needs, often leading to overlapping claims and disputes in certain regions.
