The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is a United States and Canada bi-national organization charged with the missions of aerospace warning, aerospace control and maritime warning for North America. Aerospace warning includes the detection, validation, and warning of attack against North America whether by aircraft, missiles, or space vehicles, through mutual support arrangements with other commands.

NORAD will conduct an intercept procedures display, showcasing how its air defense fighters respond to threats to America and Canada. This intercept is done for educational purposes, helping to bring awareness to pilots on the importance of checking their NOTAMs, respecting TFRs, and the actions they should take if they were ever intercepted.
