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 an FAA ID of QYS. Active FAA Radar Site.

History
This site became an FAA radar site in the 1960s, furnishing radar track data to the FAA ARTCC's and to USAF Direction Centers. The initial FAA ARSR-1 search radar remained in operation until it was modified to become a Common Air Route Surveillance Radar (CARSR) with a 7172 antenna.

By 1990 the site was equipped with an ARSR-1E search radar and a CD-2A Common Digitizer. The Rogers CD-2A was scheduled to receive an upgrade kit to implement three level weather data processing in July 1992.

CARSR Radar
At the time of the CARSR changeout, the legacy radar in place was an ARSR-1E and the CARSR conversion included a 7172 Antenna. The secondary radar for the site is the ATCBI-6 Beacon set.
