Operators at the Ground Controlled Approach Radar Site, 94th Communications Squadron, will soon be operating a new Digital Air Surveillance Radar (DASR) Tower, which is being constructed near building 557.

Contractors from Newkirk Electric have broken ground at the new site, and completion of the tower construction is expected mid 2013.

"The new tower will have updated equipment, to include digital vs. analog capability, and will be more energy efficient," said Jim moody, site inspector.
