Abstract
Content

In the 1990s, when laying the groundwork for its missile defense shield, the Pentagon realized that if it wanted to provide an effective defense against ballistic missile attack, it needed to create a quick and efficient method of detecting and tracking enemy launches. In other words, it needed to build a highly capable constellation of high-orbiting infrared satellites that would serve as the primary watchtower for the entire Ballistic Missile Defense System.
