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.

Military officials at Fort Belvoir manage this classified facility, which maintains undisclosed operations and potential connections to intelligence communications networks.
