Overview

USA-336 is a three-axis stabilized satellite equipped with an Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) scanner.[5] USA-336 uses its OPIR scanner and long-range surveillance to provide early warning for Ballistic Missile launches.[1][4] It will replace older Defense Support Program satellites.[5]
