The RC-135S gathers measurement and signature intelligence (MASINT) on missile-associated signatures and tracks during boost and reentry.

Cobra Ball superseded Rivet Ball and Rivet Amber in 1969 and collects both optical and electronic data on ballistic missile activity. Its specialized equipment includes the long-range Medium Wave Infrared Array (MIRA) EO/IR sensor suite, all-weather tracking radar, and an advanced communications suite.

Reconnaissance data is used to assess missile threats, evaluate missile performance, characterize adversary missiles, and analyze weapons testing and technology. Data also supports treaty verification and theater ballistic missile nonproliferation.
