Staff Sgt. Daniel Kennett, a space systems operator, works in the Solid State Phased Array Radar System. Kennett is able to track something the size of a softball in space. Built during the Cold War, the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System was charged with the mission of detecting potential missile launches from the Soviet Union. Today, the BMEWS site, which this radar is part of, on Clear Air Force Station, Alaska is deactivated, yielding to the newer Solid State Phased Array Radar System. U.S. Air Force Photo/Tech. Sgt.
