The northernmost U.S. city of Utqiagvik can be seen behind Point Barrow Long Range Radar Site (LRRS) satellite at Utqiagvik, Alaska, Feb. 3, 2023. The Cold War-era radar site deep in the Arctic Circle, composed primarily of infrastructure and equipment dating back to 1957, is manned by a few contractors and two active-duty Airmen, who deploy on rotation approximately every 30 days from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. The intelligence provided by Point Barrow and other radar stations strategically located across the state of Alaska enables senior leaders the ability to make timely informed decisions in defense of North America.
