Oceana NAS Radar Site

History

This site became a USN/USAF//FAA joint-use site in 1980, furnishing radar track data to the FAA, USAF, and USN. Initial radar equipment included an FPS-91A search radar and an FPS-116 Height finder. The FPS-116 was removed circa 1988. The FPS-91A was replaced by the ARSR-4 between 1996 and 1999. The ARSR-4 radar was capable of providing both search and height-finder information and is still in place.

Site Personnel circ 1982

  • Radar Maintenance - 13 USAF
  • Common Digitizer Maintenance - 4 USAF, 1 Civilian
  • Radio Maintenance - 15 USN
  • Material Control - 2 USAF
  • Quality Control - 1 USAF

The radar site data is now available to the USAF/NORAD Battle Control System-Fixed (BCS-F) operations centers (EADS & WADS) as well as the FAA Washington DC ARTCC (ZDC) and adjacent ARTCCs. Other federal agencies have access to the data under the Homeland Security umbrella.
