CFS Resolution Island, Military radar station on Resolution Island, Nunavut, Canada
The radar installation occupies a strategic position 954 kilometers north-northwest of Canadian Forces Base Goose Bay, monitoring aircraft movements across northern airspace.
The United States Air Force established this station in 1952 and assigned the 920th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron to operate the surveillance equipment.
The facility represents North American military cooperation, as control transferred from American to Canadian forces in 1961 after years of joint operations.
The station functions as an unmanned short-range radar site within the North Warning System, utilizing AN/FPS-3C and AN/FPS-502 radar equipment for surveillance.
Environmental assessments revealed this location contained the highest levels of PCB contamination among former military sites in Arctic Canada.
