The exterior
of the AN/MSQ-18 Operations Central: the van's large air
conditioning unit -- for the "comfort" of the electronics,
not the operators! -- is apparent, as are the two panels
on the side of the van, where a multitude of incoming/outgoing
ADL/voice transmission lines were connected; you can also
see the cables carrying radar video from the AN/GSS-1 Electronic
Search Central (to the left) directly into the OC van. [Also
a good shot of the structure of the BOC radar tower.]
