Navy's Sea-Based X-Band Radar (SBX)

The Navy's Sea-Based X-Band Radar (SBX) is a state-of-the-art, mobile radar system designed for missile defense. Mounted on a converted oil platform, it can be positioned at sea to detect and track enemy missile launches quickly and accurately. Its powerful radar employs high-frequency waves to identify and monitor incoming threats at long ranges, providing critical early warning and targeting data for missile defense systems. The SBX enhances national security by adding flexibility and reach to missile detection efforts, especially in challenging or dynamic environments where land-based radars might be limited.
