Bangor Air Defense Sector, Air defense military installation in Maine, United States.
The Bangor Air Defense Sector operated from Topsham Air Force Station with dual AN/FSQ-7 computers for air defense command and control operations.
Established in January 1957, the sector controlled aircraft and radar squadrons protecting Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire until its deactivation in April 1966.
The organization maintained a tradition of military excellence through extensive training programs and coordination with Strategic Air Command for defense readiness.
The facility conducted regular interception exercises using F-94 Starfire, F-102 Delta Dagger, and F-106 Delta Dart aircraft for northeastern United States protection.
The sector integrated the Semi Automatic Ground Environment Direction Center DC-05, revolutionizing air defense capabilities with computerized command systems.
