Which of the following is NOT a function of the early warning systems?

The function of distributing comprehensive air defense tactics does not fall under the role of early warning systems. Instead, early warning systems focus primarily on detecting and identifying potential threats, providing alerts to responding units, and facilitating communication about identified tracks. Their main purpose is to ensure that air defense units can respond quickly and effectively to incoming threats by alerting them to those threats as they arise.

In contrast, comprehensive air defense tactics encompass a broader strategy, including planned responses and operational procedures that are developed and disseminated through training and doctrine, rather than being a direct function of real-time warning systems. Early warning systems are designed for timely threat detection and response, emphasizing immediate actionable information, while tactical guidelines are typically established separately and may be updated based on analysis and training, rather than being part of the early warning system's immediate operational capabilities.
