Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS)

The Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) constellation will provide early warning of ballistic missile attacks and accurate state vector information to effectively cue other Ballistic Missile Defense System elements to support, intercept and negate the threat. Currently under development by the U.S. Air Force, SBIRS will provide early warning messages, accurate launch point estimates to support theater attack operations, radar cue for enhanced active defense for both theater operations and Ground Missile Defense operations, and impact area predictions.
