Cascade FAA Radar Site

 (1963-Active) - A Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Long-Range Radar (LLR) site first established in 1963 near Cascade, Valley County, Idaho. 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-223 and an FAA ID of QCK. Active FAA Radar Site also known as Boise FAA Radar Site.

History
This site became an FAA radar site in 1963, furnishing radar track data to the FAA ARTCCs and to USAF Direction Centers. The initial FAA ARSR-2 search radar remained in operation until it was modified to become a (CARSR) radar with a 7172 Antenna.

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