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-91|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. | |||
