Syracuse Air Defense Sector, Military air defense installation in Rome, New York
The Eastern Air Defense Sector operates from a complex at Griffiss Business and Technology Park, monitoring aerial activities across northeastern United States.
Established in 1956 as the 4624th Air Defense Wing, the sector controlled military units across western New York and Pennsylvania until its reorganization in 1963.
The facility maintains strong connections with Canadian Forces personnel, creating an integrated workforce of over 400 military and civilian staff members.
The sector coordinates defensive operations through multiple radar systems and interceptor squadrons, maintaining constant surveillance of the National Capital Region.
The facility pioneered the Semi Automatic Ground Environment system in 1958, utilizing dual AN/FSQ-7 computers for advanced air defense capabilities.
