    Marine Air Control Squadron 2’s newest antenna sits on a hill adjacent to the radar dome at Cherry Point May 10. The radar dome is in the process of being deconstructed by a team of engineers with Marine Wing Support Squadron 274. The new antenna, the most currently used AN/TPS-59a radar technology, will increase the squadron’s radar range by up to 200 miles. The deconstruction started May 8 and is scheduled to be complete within two weeks, allowing MACS-2 to employ the new radar technology.
