Күн бұрын

The AN/FPS-108 COBRA DANE radar, which sits at the Alaskan border, is a single faced ground-based, L-band phased-array radar located at Eareckson Air Station, Shemya, Alaska. The primary mission of COBRA DANE, which belongs to Peterson AFB: 21st Space Wing, is to collect radar metric and signature data on foreign ballistic missile events. Additional missions include collecting space surveillance data on new foreign launches and satellites in low-earth orbit. The radar has a 95-foot diameter phased array and the capability to track and record data on as many as 120 objects simultaneously.

Is this on Shemya? The building, on a bluff, looks similar to a microwave setup that was there when I was on Shemya.

Yep, it is on Shemya. And no, you cannot see Russia from here. You can, however see Attu.

This gives immediate feedback and can guide weapons systems. Satellites are nice, but take a while to get exactly what you want, can have plenty of things that mess up their vision, and are... if you didn’t know... expensive as fuck. So yeah, radar is very nice to have

Jeffrey Shieh , then why spend billions of dollars on this technology when Aircraft, Marine Cables and High altitude Air Ships are more effective?
