Yeah, it is. The C-Band really isn’t a targeting quality radar. More like a launch detection, etc. The SBX is an X-band different animal and more accurate. But the overall design of the C-Band was transitioned over to it.
I worked building the power plant ,heavy equipment crew ,back in ‘93 , I just wondered if the lead lined building was still there, it was never used , EPA rules , there was a burnt coconut palm tree at the end of the runway, next to a microwave radar . A siren would sound anytime it used.
