Falkland Islands Radar Antenna Array (2 of 2)

Caption

The completed Falkland Islands radar antenna array is comprised of 16 50-foot masts. The radar electronics are housed a 40-foot shipping container (seen behind the 4th mast from the left in the picture). The settlement of Goose Green can be seen in the background. The antennas were erected by a team of local contractors overseen by Dr. Chris Thomas of the University of Leicester during a three-week construction period.
