JLENS

The Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor (JLENS) was a tactical, theater-based, advanced sensor system. It was designed to provide wide-area protection against land-attack cruise missiles, while supporting secondary missions such as combat identification, communication relays and attack operations. It provided the long-endurance over-the-horizon detection and tracking capabilities necessary to defeat cruise missiles.
