Reno Air Defense Sector, Air defense command center in Stead AFB, Nevada.
The Reno Air Defense Sector controlled multiple radar squadrons and aircraft units across Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, and California territories during military operations.
Established in February 1959, the Reno Air Defense Sector operated with dual AN/FSQ-7 computers as part of the Semi Automatic Ground Environment system until April 1966.
The command center trained numerous tactical flying units in operating advanced interceptor aircraft including F-94 Starfire, F-102 Delta Dagger, and F-106 Delta Dart.
The facility maintained constant readiness through systematic training missions and coordinated responses between multiple radar stations across the western United States.
The sector executed specialized exercises simulating aircraft interceptions while managing an extensive network of early warning radar systems throughout four states.
