This Article is a list of United States Air Force aircraft control and warning squadrons active, inactive, and historical. The purpose of an aircraft control and warning squadron is to provide an airborne radar picket to detect vessels, planes, and vehicles before they enter an area of operations, as well as providing command and control in an engagement by directing aircraft strikes.
The radar squadron provided information 24/7 the SAGE Direction Center where it was analyzed to determine range, direction altitude speed and whether or not aircraft were friendly or hostile. USAF radar operations continued at MCAS Cherry Point until 1 August 1963 when budget reductions and a general draw-down of antiaircraft radar sites closed ...

Radar is a system that uses radio waves to determine the distance (), direction (azimuth and elevation angles), and radial velocity of objects relative to the site. It is a radiodetermination method [1] used to detect and track aircraft, ships, spacecraft, guided missiles, motor vehicles, map weather formations, and terrain.
