China has reportedly revealed a working prototype of a global defense system that can monitor missiles launched from anywhere in the world.
The system is called the “distributed early warning detection big data platform” and has already been tested and deployed by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).
According to its developers, the system can allegedly track up to 1,000 incoming missiles simultaneously. It draws data from satellites, radar, optical sensors, and reconnaissance platforms across land, sea, air, and space.
