Description
Distributed optical, electromagnetic, thermal, seismic, and communications sensors feed a hardened analysis station. The network compares returns, rejects environmental interference, and passes verified tracks to command posts and defensive batteries. Remote stations extend coverage beyond the visible horizon, while redundant links preserve warning if an individual pickup is destroyed or jammed.
