From Joint Publication 3-14, Space Operations, 10 April 2018:
9. Nuclear Detonation Detection
Nuclear detonation detection capabilities provide a persistent, global, and integrated sensor capability to provide surveillance coverage of critical regions of the globe and provide warning and assessment recommendations to the President, Secretary of Defense (SecDef), and CCDRs, indicating place, height of burst, and yield of nuclear detonations. Space-based systems, ground-based systems, correlation center C2 systems, and CCDR/national leadership decision-support systems support time-critical event conferencing. These systems provide allies and senior leaders the requisite timely warning and characterization of nuclear detonations to support threat/non-threat determination and follow-on decision making. In countering weapons of mass destruction (WMD), detection of nuclear detonations can be used to help identify proliferators.
