New radar of the US missile defense system in Alaska will allow monitoring the territory of Siberia and the Far East

The United States has completed construction of a new radar station in Alaska. The completion ceremony took place on Monday December 6, according to the US Department of Defense's Missile Defense Agency (MDA).

The new long-range target detection radar (LRDR, Long Range Discrimination Radar) will allow the Americans to track Russian ballistic missile launches not only from the European part, but also from Siberia and the Far East. At the same time, the Pentagon has traditionally stated that the radar is designed to track the launch of missiles from Iran and North Korea.

The radar is slated to enable the US military to detect all classes of ballistic missile warheads at "very long range" in "continuous mode" and track satellites in low-Earth orbit. The new station will be part of the US missile defense system, the received data will be transmitted to anti-missiles installed in Alaska and California.

Currently, the radar, located at the Clear Air Force airbase, is in test mode, it is planned to be commissioned next year, and it will be put on alert in 2023, although it was previously stated that construction was to be completed in 2020, and in combat he was supposed to get up on duty in 2022. The delay in construction, which began in 2018, was attributed to the coronavirus pandemic at the Pentagon.

It is noted that recently the United States has taken seriously the strengthening of Alaska, deploying new military bases and means of detection and control on its territory. This is due, first of all, to the desire to control the Arctic space, including the Northern Sea Route, as well as to oppose Russia, which has significantly strengthened its positions in the North. The new radar will allow the United States to track the Far East and Siberia, while Russia controls Alaska with the Voronezh radar station, which creates a radar field around our entire territory.

This station is over the horizon.
Essentially looking into space. Purely against ICBMs.
But for some reason, the states do not have OVERLOOKING!
And they just distinguish aviation at low altitudes for thousands of kilometers.
(It's a pity that they depend strongly on the state of the troposphere ...)
And this is good!

[Zaurbek]

Surprised that it was not earlier. The Russian Federation has built such stations in a circle for a couple of years. But the United States still has a powerful satellite constellation duplicating launch detection. In the Russian Federation, it is still being restored

[Victor_B]

ZGRLS mainly for aviation.

Why not? Yes, and it has been there for a long time.

Perhaps they don't really need it: the fleet, as well as radar and aviation at numerous foreign bases, are solving the necessary tasks. They used to have similar systems, but they were gradually taken out of service.

[Zaurbek]

They still have on platforms,

Would there be many people willing to live in Alaska?
American Alaska - population density 0.49 people / sq. km
across the Russian Chukotka Strait - population density 0,07 people / sq. km

with the current approach to the regions, Alaska would be just as sparsely populated

There is. Moreover, the first American ZGRLS were built in the 70s. An operating American station of this type controls the Caribbean, tracking illegal drug planes.

I didn't understand the joke. Okay, North Korea, it's pretty close to Alaska, but Iran is stupidly closer to the equator, it's easier and closer to launch something across the Atlantic across the United States.

It is possible in the opposite direction.
Through the South Plus.
Only three times further will be.
Or a partially orbital rocket, but only IN THE SAME PLANE!

Is this a law of physics, strictly through the poles of ICBMs?

But no, not the law. If not the law about ONE AND THE SAME PLANE.

Yes, contact a doctor, I forbid you or something, I will even recommend, to an ophthalmologist. On your own picture, you cannot see the location of Iran and the United States (central part), this is to an ophthalmologist.

When launching a rocket eastward? the speed increases due to the addition of the peripheral speed of the cosmodrome. The peripheral speed of the cosmodrome is the speed of its movement around the axis of the Earth, due to the daily rotation of the planet. The closer the cosmodrome is to the equator, the greater the distance between it and the Earth's axis of rotation - and the higher its peripheral speed.

Anti-missile defense systems in Europe have been deployed.

[Zaurbek]

They are in Alaska too ... In Europe, too, theoretically there should be such a station ... Wherever in Iceland ...

From the territory of Iran, the shortest distance to the territory of the United States runs through Europe and the North Atlantic, where less than 10000 km goes to the American east coast.

[tralflot1832]

The main purpose of the missile defense radar in Alaska, tracking how drunk Santa Claus and his reindeer are on Christmas, is he flying there?

[Zaurbek]

This is a missile attack warning station. In Alaska, there is still a TNAAD missile defense.

[tralflot1832]

ABM TNAADD does not have a breathalyzer. We know that in Alaska there is a positional area for pro, against the gifts of our Santa Claus.

[voyaka uh]

In Alaska, America's main strategic missile defense system is GBi.
Mine missile defense missiles to intercept ICBM warheads high in space.
THAAD - add-on for the protection of objects. Knocks down on the descent.

... Everything is correct, control, control and more control!
Further what, effective means of counteraction!
But with these, everyone is very limited.
At this stage, the means of attack are clearly ahead.

[rotmistr60]

It is clear even to a schoolchild that he is against Russia, China and the DPRK. Where is Iran and where is Alaska. Alaska often began to flicker in terms of the military construction of the United States. Either in addition, planes are ferried there, then exercises are being carried out, now the radar station has been launched. The "hegemon" is worried about his safety.

[Zaurbek]

It is needed against the owners of the BR ... especially since there are plans to deploy the MRBM in the Far East against China ... and in response, we will have

[anjey]

Will this system take hypersound? And historically Alaska is a Russian land Alaska sir !!!

[vervolk]

I think the question on Alaska is not closed. It's just that now you need to focus on Ukraine, Moldova, Tsar, Mali and Turkey, and then you can use the red lines and scribble across Alaska, and by the way, the issue with California and Hawaii is also not closed. The USA must return the illegally occupied territories!

[Bear]

Traditionally, mattress mats relied on space-based launch detection and trajectory tracking of ICBMs, since in the field of satellite detection, target designation, communication and monitoring systems, they have always been and are one step ahead of us (mainly due to financial superiority). Similarly, we have always had an advantage in ground-based radar detection equipment. Now the situation is changing, I think that they too understand that it is strategically and economically more profitable to develop ground-based radars, in addition to space assets. We, having created an almost continuous radar field, were able to almost restore the satellite constellation of the missile attack warning system. So, we can say - parity.

These mines have long been "shot" - for this, our SF SSBNs do not even need to be taken out of the bases - they will crash straight from the Barents Sea - sight ... hehe ... just "turn a little bit" - from the Kamchatka Kura training ground - to Clear , Elmendorf, Fort Greeley and about. Shemiya. And so that they did not jerk too much, they also transferred the Su-31M with the Daggers to Anadyr. In addition to strategic aviation at the bases of the Pacific Fleet and Far Eastern Military District.

[Alexey RA]

In those parts, there is still an old COBRA DANE.

Originally designed to track the warheads of our ballistic missiles finishing at the Kura training ground, this radar is now used in the US missile defense system to control outer space.
