Louis Blotner Radar Bomb Scoring Site, Military radar station in Connor, United States.
The Louis Blotner Radar Bomb Scoring Site is a military radar facility in Connor designed to evaluate aerial operations and electronic countermeasures. The installation contains specialized equipment spread across approximately 6.59 acres for testing and assessment purposes.
The facility was established in 1963 on the site of a former NIKE missile launch area and initially served as an AUTOTRACK radar station. It played a role in the region's air defense infrastructure until operations changed in the late 1970s.
The transformation of enlisted men's barracks into a general store in 1992 represented the gradual shift from military to civilian purposes in Aroostook County.
The site is located in a rural area of Aroostook County and is accessible by local roads. The flat terrain makes it easy to navigate when exploring the location.
After military withdrawal, parts of the former barracks were converted into a local store. This repurposing shows how military properties in the region gradually transitioned back to civilian use.
