Kirksville AFS, MO Site History

"The 790th AC&W Squadron activated a pair of AN/FPS-10 radars at this site in April 1952. One AN/FPS-10 height-finder radar was phased out in 1958 with the arrival of one AN/FPS-6A set. The other AN/FPS-10 stayed in operation until 1963, and then was replaced with an AN/FPS-7C search radar. A second AN/FPS-6A height-finder radar was installed in 1964. Kirksville began SAGE operations in 1959. The Air Force deactivated the 790th Radar Squadron on 8 September 1968. The AN/FPS-7C search radar was transferred to the FAA, and later replaced with an ARSR-3."
