Summary

Description
English: General summary: Cape Cod Air Station, Technical Facility-Scanner Building & Power Plant, Massachusetts Military Reservation, Sandwich, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, USA. 1978 initial construction. The Technical Facility/Scanner Building and Power Plant is the central component of the PAVE PAWS complex and performs all the functions required for the missile detection and tracking mission, including detection, processing, and characterization.
  • Details: A graphics terminal, labeled NCON 4. In the center of the terminal's screen is a crude vector graphics rendering of North America, Central America, part of South America, and major Caribbean islands. At the top of the image is a date/time stamp: 10/26/99 20:03; at the bottom, the text "SPACETRACK MISSION PLAN STATUS PAGE 1 OF 01". Columns of numbers and text surround the main image. Below the screen is a QWERTY keyboard, with a row of custom function keys above the row of digits; to the right of the QWERTY keys are a 5×5 grid of additional custom function keys, and further right is a pad of unknown purpose, approximately the size of the 5×5 function key grid. Two loose-leaf binders lean against the terminal on the right side: both are labeled "SECRET/RELCAN", with the thicker of the two binders labeled "Cape Cod Air Station Operations — Crew Changeover Binder" and the thinner labeled, closer to the terminal. labeled "21 OGI 10-9 / DOOI 10-1 Temporary Procedures / Job" (with another word, perhaps "Aid", obscured by a curly cord that appears to originate from the side of the keyboard and terminates at the top of a metal stylus that is located on the right side of the housing surrounding the screen. Lying on the surface of the keyboard, to the left of the QWERTY keys, is a Sharp Wizard, a brand of electronic organizer, with its hinged cover closed.
