"This radar was a modified AN/FPS-26 height-finder radar produced by Avco Corporation to detect submarine-launched ballistic missiles. The system deployed at seven sites in the 1970s. Six sites were phased out during the early 1980s. The remaining unit continued in operation in the southeast for a few more years to provide coverage over Cuba.
"The last site to shut down its AN/FSS-7 sensor was MacDill AFB, FL."
