The Statesboro Bomb Scoring Site [1] [2] was a Strategic Air Command (SAC) Radar Bomb Scoring AUTOTRACK radar station. It was Formerly Used Defense Site I04GA0575. Detachment 3 of the 10th Radar Bomb Scoring Squadron had begun "Statesboro Bomb Plot" operations by June 1963. [3]
In addition to a Reeves AN/MSQ-39 Bomb Scoring Central with Fresnel antenna, during the Vietnam War the station used a Soviet T2A radar with 2 radomes for simulating surface-to-air missile tracking to train/exercise aircraft crews in electronic countermeasures ( electronic warfare). [4]
