The first aircraft to be detected was flying northwest of Vancouver, B.C., 938 mi. from the radar's bistatic transmitters near Christmas Valley in southern Oregon. The receivers are at Tulelake, Calif. Signals are processed at Mountain Home AFB, Idaho. When completed in 1990, the system will warn the North American Air Defense Command of aircraft at ranges of 500 - 1,800 mi."
