For ABM defense against long range missiles, satellite based launch detection is key. Sat based launch detection is a cost challenge. Much of globe can be observed from GSO, but at 32,000 km the optical payload is huge, and it does not cover northern latitude. medium and lower earth orbit OTOH require a big constellation to be operational. India does not yet have capability for either.

Thanks
How have the US,EU resolved this? How long do you think it will take for us to achieve this? Can we partner with Russians/israeli's to save cost?
