PAVE PAWS operates in conjunction with BMEWS (Ballistic Missile Early 
Warning System) and MDS (Missile Detection System, a satellite based 
system).  The PAVE PAWS primary mission is detection of submarine launched 
missiles, thus their orientation out to sea.  They also supplement other 
detection systems in a concept known as 'dual phenomenology', i.e. detecting 
an oject using more than one source/system.  This assures the observation is 
valid and accurate.
