Mode S Beacon System
The {{{Site}}} FAA Radar Site was selected in the 1990s to become one of 21 long-range radar sites to have a Mode S radar beacon system installed. The Mode S system allowed operation in the existing beacon modes but added features to improve beacon operation by allowing aircraft identification with a single interrogation and two-way digital communication between controllers and pilots.
Besides the 21 long-range sites, there were other short-range radars to be upgraded for a total of 137 sites on the implementation list. Tyler was #{{{Seq}}} on the list, scheduled to receive the Mode S equipment on {{{Date}}}. Installation required interfacing with the radar system, addition of a beacon antenna on top of the search radar antenna, interface with the Common Digitizer (CD-2) if installed, additional communication lines and equipment. The Mode S system remains in operation today.
