Missile Warning Radar Station in Turkey is Online
AN/TPY-2 field deployable, multi mission missile defense radar from Raytheon
The command and control center of the GMD missile defense system.
NATO has deployed the AN/TPY-2 Ballistic Missile Defense radar in a new location near Malatya in south-central Turkey, where the early warning radar provides the forward most lookout detecting missiles launched from Iran. The station is manned by U.S. teams and is supported by Turkish personnel. Turkey, along with Portugal, Poland, Romania and Spain are the five countries that agreed to host elements of a U.S.-European missile defense shield. This deployment represents a major milestone in achieving the U.S. Administrations European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA), which provides a limited anti-missile umbrella, protecting Europe from missile attacks from rough states like Iran. The AN/TPY-2 is the critical sensor component of the EPAA.
