Robins Air Force Base:
HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass. – Program Executive Office Digital is upgrading the five radars that serve as the United States’ first warning of sudden missile attack.
Upgraded Early Warning Radars arrayed throughout the Northern Hemisphere have the primary mission of missile warning and missile defense, and a secondary mission of tracking space-borne objects. They are all undergoing upgrades to their computer systems and will continue to provide accurate and timely data to combatant commanders.
These latest upgrades will focus on the processing equipment that builds information commanders and senior leaders use to make decisions and provide warning in case of attack, as well as support missile defense requirements for homeland defense.
