The US Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is planning to build a $1 billion radar system on the far western or northern point of Oahu, Hawaii.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports that the radar, named Homeland Defense Radar-Hawaii (HDR-H), is expected to track complex ballistic and hypersonic missile threats across the western Pacific from either Kaena Point or the Kahuku Training Area.
Agency officials say the radar will have a block-like shape with a face estimated to be up to 80 feet (24 meters) tall and up to 50 feet (15 meters) wide. The radar will identify, track and classify long-range missile threats in flight. Maintenance and support facilities are also planned for the site.
The agency is conducting an environmental impact statement and held a public meeting on the project last week in Haleiwa.
