early warning systems
Danger detection networks
Early warning systems are networks designed to detect threats before they arrive in full force.
The term originated with military radar installations meant to spot incoming missiles or aircraft, giving defenders time to respond.
Now it extends to any monitoring system that provides advance notice of danger—tsunami early warning systems, disease surveillance networks, or financial indicators that signal economic trouble ahead.
The earthquake early warning system gave residents thirty seconds to take cover.
