The
Dimona Radar Facility is a facility under
construction near Dimona
, Israel
consisting
of two 400 meter (1,300 feet) tall radar towers, designed to track
ballistic missiles through space and provide ground-based missiles
with the targeting data needed to intercept them. Using
AN/TPY-2 X-band
radar, it can detect missiles up to 1,500 miles away. The
towers will be owned and operated by the
US
military, which will provide only second hand intelligence to
Israel.
The towers of the facility are the tallest towers in Israel, and
the tallest used for radar in the world.
