History
This FAA radar site is thought to have been established in the 1960s, furnishing radar track data to the FAA ARTCCs and to USAF Direction Centers. The initial FAA FPS-67B search radar remained in operation until it was modified to become a CARSR radar (w 1561 antenna) reportedly as of 31 Jan 2012.

By 1990 the site was equipped with an FPS-67B search radar and a CD-2A Common Digitizer. The Haleyville CD-2A was scheduled to receive an upgrade kit to implement three level weather data processing in August 1992.
