Highlands Army Air Defense Site, Military radar installation in Middletown Township, United States.
The Highlands Army Air Defense Site contained a network of three radar systems for target acquisition, tracking, and missile guidance in New Jersey.
The Department of Defense constructed the Missile Master facility in 1958 at a cost of 4 million dollars, including a nuclear bunker and radar towers.
The installation represented a major advancement in air defense technology, coordinating operations between New York and Philadelphia defense regions through the AN/TSQ-51 system.
The facility extended across 45 acres of land and functioned as the central command post for Nike missile defense units in the New York metropolitan area.
The installation served as the first location in the United States to implement the Hughes AN/TSQ-51 Air Defense Command and Coordination System.
