Disambiguation: Not to be confused with Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD, active 1957–1975); ADCOM was a successor organization that incorporated NORAD functions by 1980.

Aerospace Defense Command (ADC/ADCOM) was a major command of the United States Air Force, established on March 21, 1946, to provide air defense of the continental United States. Initially headquartered at Mitchel Field, New York, the command relocated to Ent Air Force Base, Colorado in 1951 and subsequently to Colorado Springs in 1966. Originally focused on interceptor aircraft and radar networks against Soviet bombers, ADC expanded its mission in the 1960s to include ballistic missile warning and space surveillance systems. Redesignated as Aerospace Defense Command (ADCOM) on January 15, 1968, the organization operated as a major command until October 1, 1979, when its atmospheric defense units transferred to Tactical Air Command; the remaining space-focused organization was inactivated on March 31, 1980. ADC/ADCOM would have processed and investigated aerial phenomena reports within its air defense mandate during the Cold War era.
