Coverage of the original PAVE PAWS and BMEWS systems, later upgraded to SSPARS and eventually to UEWRBMEWS solid-state phased-array radar at RAF Fylingdales
The Solid State Phased Array Radar System[1] (SSPARS, colloquially "BMEWS radar network'" as late as 2004)[2] is a United States Space Force radar, computer, and communications system for missile warning and space surveillance. There are SSPARS systems at five sites: Beale Air Force Base, CA, Cape Cod Space Force Station, MA, Clear Space Force Station, AK, RAF Fylingdales, UK, and Pituffik Space Base, Greenland.[3] The system completed replacement of the RCA 474L Ballistic Missile Early Warning System when the last SSPAR was operational at then-Clear Air Force Station in 2001.[1]
