Mounted on a mountain over looking Indian Springs, NV, this radar system has no moving parts, is electronically steerable and can see small birds in flight. This area just north of Las Vegas is the location of Creech Air Force base---home to the Reapers who patrol the skies over most any theater of conflict nowadays and are controlled remotely by using our young, video gaming geeks. Gee, why didn't they have this 30 years ago? :)
Keep checking Hack-a-Day...you may be able to "RC" a Reaper around yet!
