What does armor do?

Does it only effect missle defense?

There are defense and armor ratings...I never did figure out how they both factor in to overall defense.

Every point of armour adds 1 point to the defense stat.

. . . and improves the units resistance to missile fire.

It also increases the rate of fatigue.

Well of course as well as other weapons. Thats why they wear it

You will also notice some units have armor piercing weapons like Militia Sgts. Use them against highly armored troops .

The defense stat of a unit (if you hit F1 during a battle) already has shield and armour included so the armour value of a unit is really just for protection against missile. An armour upgrade will of course increase defense by one as well as armour.

Yeah, armour in terms of unit stats relates only to missles and to fatigue. An armour upgrade increases the defence stat, making a unit harder to kill in melee, and also the armour stat, making it more resistant to missle fire and more liable to fatigue.
