Assigned a JSS ID of J-09A, and an FAA ID of FN7. Active FAA Radar Site.

History

This site became an FAA radar site circa 1998, furnishing radar track data to the FAA ARTCCs and to USAF Direction Centers. Replaced the Fort Lonesome FAA Radar Site some 10 miles to the southwest. The primary search radar is an ARSR-4 while the secondary radar at this site is a ATCBI-6M Beacon set.

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 Miami ARTCC (ZMA) and adjacent ARTCCs. Other federal agencies have access to the data under the Homeland Security umbrella.
