Space-Based Early Warning Systems (SB-EWS) are a critical component of the anti-ballistic missile defense architecture employed by global powers. These systems utilize specialized satellites equipped with infrared sensors to detect ballistic missile launches from both land-based and naval platforms.

The collected data is then transmitted to ground-based missile defense networks, enabling timely response and precise interception capabilities.
