Originally, the station was known as the Flaxman Island DEW Site (POW-3). Now it is known as the Bullen Point Short-Range Radar Site (SRRS) (A-20). The old tower housed an AN/FPS-19 radar. Another radar, AN/FPS-23, was used there (alongwith the AN/FPS-19) until July 1963. Today`s radar is an AN/FPS-124.
