Context triple: [PAVE PAWS radar site, associatedWithProgram, Ballistic Missile Early Warning System]

• A. Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense
  Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense is a U.S. naval-based missile defense system that uses ship- and land-based Aegis-equipped launchers and radar to detect, track, and intercept short- to intermediate-range ballistic missiles.
• B. Ground-based Midcourse Defense system
  The Ground-based Midcourse Defense system is a U.S. missile defense network designed to detect, track, and intercept long-range ballistic missiles in space during their midcourse phase.
• C. Minuteman missile program
  The Minuteman missile program is a U.S. Air Force initiative that developed and deployed a series of land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles forming a key component of the United States' nuclear deterrent.
• D. Polaris missile system
  The Polaris missile system was an early U.S. submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) program that provided a key component of the nation's nuclear deterrent during the Cold War.
• E. United States Space Surveillance Network
  The United States Space Surveillance Network is a U.S. military-operated system of ground- and space-based sensors that tracks and catalogs artificial objects in Earth orbit to support space situational awareness and national security.
