Ground Equipment Facility QRC (FUDS C03PA046300: "Benton Air Force Communications^{[clarification needed]} Annex")^[6] is an FAA radar station that was part of a Cold War SAGE radar station (Benton Air Force Station, call sign: Oppose)^[3] for aircraft control and warning "from Massachusetts to southern Virginia, and as far out to sea as possible."^[1] Benton AFS was also the first operational "regional data processing center" for the GE 477L Nuclear Detection and Reporting System.

The FAA facility and the larger area of the former Air Force Station are part of Ricketts Glen State Park.^[7]
