An interesting location in Indian Punjab, a huge walled compound with no building. What place is it?

[graphican]

I was randomly browsing over Indian territory and found this interesting area in Indian Punjab. Its some 70KM from the border and is directing towards Pakistan. It's a huge walled compound, with each side measuring 6 Kilometers in length. It's not a runway but has a few helipads along the edges and in the middle.

It may be a storage facility but it is too close to the border (70KM) and it is stupidly obvious. It also has an interesting arrow on one side and then a couple of white walls in the middle. Any ideas what it might be?

Imaging Satellite lens calibrating site. The perpendicular walls are the units. The site is used to calibrate the lens of spy satellites for the first time after launch.
