The site houses a AN/TPY-2 Surveillance Transportable Radar operated in 2021 by the United States Army's 1st Space Brigade. [3] Originally operated by approximately 100 soldiers, [4] that number has increased significantly since the site's initial construction, with a $35.8 million expansion in 2023 increasing the base's capacity to 1000.

The U.S. Signal Corps used the term "sets" to denote specific groupings of individual components such as transmitters, receivers, power supplies, handsets, cases, and antennas. SCR radio sets ranged from the relatively small SCR-536 "handie talkie" to high-powered, truck-mounted mobile communications systems like the SCR-299 and large microwave ...
The transmitting antenna (on the left in the pictures) was a square 72x72 array of 5,184 crossed-dipole antenna elements spaced 0.55 wavelength (37 cm) apart, [13] which was later upgraded to 5928 elements. [6] Each antenna element receives power from a separate transmitter module having an output power of 10 kW
TPY-2 radar in travelling configuration View from the back on a deployed TPY-2 radar. The AN/TPY-2 Surveillance Transportable Radar, also called the Forward Based X-Band Transportable (FBX-T) is a long-range, very high-altitude active digital antenna array [1] [2] X band surveillance radar designed to add a tier to existing missile and air defence systems.
AN/APQ-157 AN/APQ-153 radar with dual line-replaceable units (with the exception of the radar antenna) for the twin seater versions of Northrop F-5; AN/APQ-158 for the MH-53 Pave Low helicopter; AN/APQ-159 improved AN/APQ-153 fire control radar by Emerson Electric Company for Northrop F-5; AN/APQ-160 attack radar for EF-111A Raven
Radar tower on the North Sea artificial island of Langlütjen I in Germany (2012 aerial photograph) A radar tower is a tower whose function is to support a radar facility, usually a local airport surveillance radar, and hence often at or in the vicinity of an airport or a military air base. The antenna is often continually rotating. [1]
The former J-31 San Pedro JSS ARSR-1 radar site, California USAF Battle Control System operators monitor the skies from the floor of the program's Eastern Air Defense Sector location. The Joint Surveillance System (JSS) is a joint United States Air Force and Federal Aviation Administration system for the atmospheric air defense of North America.
A passive electronically scanned array (PESA), also known as passive phased array, is an antenna in which the beam of radio waves can be electronically steered to point in different directions (that is, a phased array antenna), in which all the antenna elements are connected to a single transmitter (such as a magnetron, a klystron or a ...
