The AN/GSS-1
Electronic Search Central -- known simply as The Radar Van
(or "Jessie One") -- visible on the right side of the "overview"
photo -- just after relocating from the Old BOC. (Note white
paint on New BOC, fresh tire tracks, OC and UHF commo vans
beneath the camo nets.) It is using the 20-foot antenna,
installed directly on top of the radar shelter; the BOC
radar tower, designed for a larger (40-foot) AN/GSS-7 radar
antenna, is being used as an interim UHF tower.
