History of Finley FAA Radar SiteThis site became an FAA/ADC joint-use site on 30 Dec 1979, furnishing radar track data to the FAA and to USAF Direction Centers. The initial equipment included the FAA ARSR-3 search radar and one USAF FPS-116 height-finder. The height-finder was removed about 1988. The ARSR-3 was replaced with an FAA ARSR-4 3D radar in 1997-1998. This site replaced the Air Force radar site at Finley Air Force Station and that site was closed. The new site was located directly adjacent to the Finley Air Force Station GATR site and that building remains at the site. The radar site data is available to the USAF/NORAD Battle Control System-Fixed (BCS-F) operations centers (EADS & WADS) as well as the FAA Minneapolis ARTCC (ZMP) and adjacent ARTCCs.
