Clear Space Force Station, Military radar facility in central Alaska, United States.
Clear Space Force Station is a military installation in central Alaska that operates sophisticated radar systems for early warning and space surveillance. These sensors continuously scan the northern sky from its remote location.
The station was established in 1961 as part of the early warning network during the Cold War. Its role has expanded over time to include monitoring space objects alongside traditional defense operations.
Military personnel from both the United States Space Force and Alaska Air National Guard form integrated teams to maintain continuous defense operations.
The facility sits in a remote part of central Alaska far from any populated area. Access is highly restricted and the harsh weather conditions of the region require proper preparation year-round.
The station's radar systems contribute to North American defense by tracking over 10,000 orbiting objects and potential missile threats.
