Site C-6 was the 1971-84 location of the Alternate Space Surveillance Center [15]. In 1972 20% of the site's "surveillance capability…became dedicated to search for SLBMs" [43] (the USAF SLBM Phased Array Radar System was initiated In November 1972 by the JCS [44] while the Army's MSR and PAR phased arrays for missile defense were
This is an incomplete list of ground-based radars operated by the United States Marine Corps since the service first started utilizing radars in 1940. [1] The Marine Corps' has used ground-based radars for anti-aircraft artillery fire control, long range early warning, Ground-controlled interception (GCI), ground directed bombing, counter-battery radar, short-range cueing for man-portable air ...

The Diyarbakır Air Station intelligence collection radar site ultimately consisted of one detection radar (FPS-17) and one mechanical tracking radar (FPS-79). The Pirinclik radars were operated by the 19th Surveillance Squadron. The FPS-17 radar reached IOC on 1 June 1955 and the FPS-79 in 1964. Both radars operated at a UHF (432 MHz) frequency.
Per its latest contract, Lockheed (LMT) is going to provide four standalone radar systems, ancillary equipment, spares, training, warranty and contractor logistics support.
MADRE over-the-horizon radar at the NRL's Chesapeake Bay Detachment U.S. Navy Relocatable Over-the-Horizon Radar station. The most common type of OTH radar, OTH-B (backscatter), [3] uses skywave or "skip" propagation, in which shortwave radio waves are refracted off an ionized layer in the atmosphere, the ionosphere, and return to Earth some distance away.
It was the primary military ground-based radar in the UK from the mid-1950s into the late 1960s, providing coverage over the entire British Isles. In the late 1940s, the RAF developed the ROTOR plan to provide radar coverage over the UK in a phased rollout. As part of Stage 2, a new EW radar with long range would be deployed starting in 1957.
The C-Band Radar Transponder (Model SST-135C) is intended to increase the range and accuracy of the radar ground stations equipped with AN/FPS-16, and AN/FPQ-6 Radar Systems. C-band radar stations at the Kennedy Space Center, along the Atlantic Missile Range, and at many other locations around the world, provide global tracking capabilities.
