This site became an FAA radar site in 1998, furnishing radar track data to the FAA ARTCCs and to USAF Direction Centers. The initial FAA ARSR-4 search radar has remained in operation since it was installed.
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.
