Tysons Corner Communications Tower, Military communications tower in Tysons Corner, Virginia, US.
The tower contains advanced telecommunications equipment and functions as a relay point for secure government communications between Washington and other facilities.
Constructed in 1952 during the Cold War, this tower served as part of a strategic communications network to maintain contact between the President and military forces.
The structure, known as Site E among military personnel, represents a physical reminder of the ongoing importance of secure communications in national defense.
While many original microwave antennas have been removed, the tower now connects to underground fiber-optic cables leading to various government installations.
