Nuclear Detonation Sensors, or NUDETS in militaryspeak, are devices which nations use to detect (duh) nuclear detonations on the earth's surface.

One type consists of infrared cameras aboard other-purposed satellites such as MilStar and possibly GPS, these sensors constantly watch the earth for the characteristic bright, bright double flash of an atomic explosion, known as a 'High Energy Event.' They are monitored from U.S. Space Command SPACECOM in Colorado.
