 NORAD is the joint U.S./Canadian military organization responsible for the aerospace defense of the United States and Canada. NORAD was created by a 1958 agreement between Canada and the United States. The agreement has been renewed nine times since - most recently in 2000.
NORAD provides warning of missile and air attack against both of its member nations, safeguards the air sovereignty of North America, and provides air defense forces for defense against an air attack. NORAD's mission has evolved over the years to meet the aerospace defense needs of Canada and the United States.
