Facilities

The facility contains a long range, phased array AN/FPS-117 3-dimensional air search surveillance radar that was installed in November 1998 as part of the North Warning System. The site (LAB-6) also consists of radar towers, communications facility, and storage and tunnel connected buildings for personnel.[2]

History

The present Long Range Radar site is built {{convert|13.5|mi|km}} south of Cartwright Air Station, which was established in 1953 as a General Surveillance Radar station, by the United States Air Force. It was used initially by the Northeast Air Command, which stationed the 922d Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron on the station on 1 October 1953. The station functioned as a Ground-Control Intercept (GCI) and warning station as part of the Pinetree Line.[3]
