Overview (U):

(U) The ARPA Lincoln C-band Observable Radar (ALCOR) is an Army operated radar located on the Kwajalein Atoll in the western Pacific. It has two missions, Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) testing in support of the Western Space and Missile Center (WSMC) and space surveillance.

Description (U):

(U) ALCOR, a near Earth tracking radar, is one of three radars composing the Space Surveillance Network. The other two radars are the ARPA Long-range Tracking and Identification Radar (ALTAIR) and the TRADEX (Target Resolution and Discrimination Experiment). ALCOR is unique because it is the only radar besides Haystack that can provide wideband Space Object Identification.

User Impact (U):

(U) Loss of this capability would have a significant impact on the Space Surveillance Network (SNN).

Programmatics (U):

(U) Operational.
