The AN/FPS-85 radar constructed at Eglin Site C-6 in the 1960s during the Cold War as a cutting edge phased array radar and computer system originally designed to detect and track orbital nuclear missiles.

The world’s first large phased array radar, the AN/FPS-85 was constructed in the 1960s at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. Other large radars have been introduced since then, but the Grand Old Lady of the South, as the radar installation is known at Eglin, remains the nation’s primary space surveillance radar because of its unsurpassed power ...

The AN/FPS-85 can detect, track and identify up to 200 satellites simultaneously. The maximum beam deflection is 60 degrees on either side of the antenna center line which provides 120 degrees ...

The 20th Space Surveillance Squadron (20 SPSS), Site C‐6, Eglin Air Force Base (AFB), Fla., is a multiplatform operational unit. It maintains and operates the AN/FPS‐85 Eglin Phased Array Radar and operates the AN‐FSY‐3 Space Fence Phased Array Radar, located on Kwajalein Atoll in the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

The AN/FPS-85 is a large operational UHF phased array radar designed and constructed for the U. S. Air Force by the Bendix Communications Division, Bendix Corporation. This paper gives a description of the radar's operation, some insight into the system design, pictures of actual hardware, a summary of system testing, and a project summary.
