"

- Missile Warning: provide timely warning of strategic and theater ballistic missile attacks

• Launch origin, missile typing, trajectory, impact point

• Missile Defense: detect track and cue missile defense systems

• Provides greater missile detection/tracking and hand-off ,to radar tracking and kill vehicle systems

• Supports launcher detection, target discrimination and target hit/kill assessments

-Technical Intelligence: provide data to technical intelligence analysts

• Multi..mode sensors to detect/collect on evolving threats • Characterize missiles and other IR events/signatures/phenomenology

- Battlespace Awareness: provide an "IR view" of the battlefield to the warfighter

• Provide situational awareness/targeting/assessment for command, control, and execution of joint operations
