Statesboro Bomb Scoring Site, Military radar station near Statesboro, United States.
The Statesboro Bomb Scoring Site is a military radar installation in Georgia equipped with specialized technology for tracking aircraft. The facility used an AN/MSQ-39 Bomb Scoring Central system with a Fresnel antenna to monitor and record flight movements during training operations.
The site began operations in June 1963 as a Strategic Air Command facility under Detachment 3 of the 10th Radar Bomb Scoring Squadron. It served for years as a training station supporting bombing practice missions for military aircraft.
Military personnel conducted electronic warfare training exercises using Soviet T2A radar systems to simulate surface-to-air missile tracking methods.
The location is situated in central Georgia and is not readily accessible to the general public as a visitor site today. Anyone interested in learning about the facility can research historical records and military archives for more information about its past operations.
The facility employed Soviet T2A radar systems as training tools to simulate surface-to-air missile detection without using real weapons. This use of adversary radar technology allowed pilots to practice under realistic conditions and measure the accuracy of their bomb release points.
