I spent almost 20 years operating, developing, and testing DSP systems, and even that older system constantly surprised us with the things it could see. It managed to detect smaller missiles than we had expected, afterburning aircraft, explosions, and natural events like volcanoes and wildfires. The system could also see infrared celestial objects as it looked above the Earth horizon, and provided a catalogue of over 10,000 new infrared stars and other phenomena to the astronomers, but in that era we couldn't reveal the source because its existence was classified.

Amazing. Imagine what the newer systems can do today! As far as I understand, new stealth fighter tech has been somewhat diminished due to advanced new FLIR systems that can detect them just by AI trained IR signatures, even front facing from BVR. Technology is nuts.

All 21st technologies can not prevent drones attacks as well as missiles. Would be nice to see US space force's satellites can detect Houthis prepares to launch missiles at ships, then its satellites can send signal and coordination to US Navy at Red Sea to launch missiles counterstrike at those sites right away.
