We have had over the horizon radar facilities for thirty or forty years. The problem is that a politician has been known to lie for the sake of supposed national defense or probably more likely for the sake of their own political preservation.
The radar, developed by Raytheon, is used primarily to detect and track sea-launched (SLBM) and intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).
AN/FPS-108 COBRA DANE was built in 1976... for the primary mission of intelligence gathering in support of verification of the SALT II arms limitation agreement.
