Yes, true. There was also the direct predecessor down at Eglin in Florida, Site C.

I arrived at Cape Cod in October 1979. We went live the next year. Most of the people I initially worked with came up from Florida Site C.

FPS-85? I believe. Raytheon hired the designers away to enter (and in some ways) dominate the Phased Array radar business. When I was there they used to say that they built more acres of phased arrays than anyone else in the world.
