M-90 | Z-90 * | 686 | Walker AFB, NM | MPS-7, MPS-14 | 1955 | May 1963 | The M-90 radar site was also known as Walker AFS. The cantonment area was on the main base east of the runways, and the radar site was west of the runways. Plans for an AN/FPS-28 FD search radar were cancelled. Arctic-style radar tower was relocated to this radar station from Continental Divide AFS, NM (P-7) when that site closed in 1961. * Deactivation was initially held in abeyance in FY 1964 for the FAA’s proposed National Airspace Utilization System (NAUS), and SAGE designation of Z-90 was assigned. | ||
