70's view of Army Radar Installation (with computer gear)

[Curt @ Atari Museum]

Isn't the PAR still in active use?   I assume the MSR's are all 
deactivated due to the ABM treaties and the fact that the Sprint/Nike 
systems have been superseded by the Patriot and newer missile defense 
systems.

While we are all supposed to be "friends" - Glasnost had faded out and 
Russia is beginning to strengthen its nuclear arsenal again, plus China 
is on a massive military build up, so one would have to assume that the 
US Space Command would still have its active eyes and ears in operation 
on the outside chance of a Russian or Chinese missile attack...
