The instruments are what LeoLabs operates - curtain phased-array radars in various places, which detect and measure objects in orbit as they pass through the curtain’s field - see https://leolabs.space/radars/
They then offer conjuction analysis and warnings to satellite operators under contract, based on their catalog of objects and debris.
