Cross City FAA Radar Site (1980-Active) - A Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Long-Range Radar (LRR) site first established in 1980 near Cross City, Dixie County, Florida. The site is used to identify and track military and civilian aircraft movements within a 200-mile radius and to provide air-ground radio communication with those aircraft. Assigned a SAGE System ID of Z-333, a JSS ID of J-10, and an FAA ID of CTY. Active FAA Radar Site. Located on a different site from Cross City Air Force Station. HistoryThis site became a new FAA radar site in 1980, furnishing radar track data to the FAA ARTCCs and to USAF Direction Centers. The initial FAA ARSR-3 search radar remained in operation until it was modified to become a ARSR-4 radar between 1996 and 1999. The US Air Force OLAB of the 20th Air Defense Squadron (ADS) operated a USAF FPS-116 height finder radar here between 1980 and 1988. The current configuration includes the ARSR-4 radar and an 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 Jacksonville ARTCC (ZJX) and adjacent ARTCCs. Other federal agencies have access to the data under the Homeland Security umbrella.
