New Radar Detects
ICBM Launchings
From Foreign Soil
By ELTON C. FAY
WASHINGTON, UP) — A new
radar device to spy across oceans
and give a quick report on ballis
tic missile launchings is being de
veloped, the U. S. Navy says.
The radar also could be used as
one means of uncovering sneak
tests of nuclear weapons in vio
lation of any international agree
ment.
Dr. William J. Thaler of the Of
fice of Naval Research and
“father” of the new radar setup
called Project Tepee, said Friday
night:
“I would hope you could double
the warning time.”
This would mean that the
United States would have almost
30 minutes instead of 15 minutes
— possible under the U. S. sys
tem now being built — in which
to launch counter-weapons. Mili
tary men figure it would take
about 30 minutes for a missile
fired in the Soviet Union to reach
the United States.
Thaler, 33, talked to newsmen
about the project. Askid if the
Navy had tested the device against
Soviet ICBM testing launchings,
he replied “No.”
Thaler said the device is lo
cated at an undisclosed place in
continental [United States and
picked up the ballistic missile
nuclear explosive tests made last
summer in Project Argus in the
South Atlantic, and the Johnston
Island tests in the Pacifc.
However, the New York Times
said today that several stations
are now in operation, adding “The
number and locations of these sta
tions are secret.”
The Times story continued:
“Soviet missile and satellite
firings have been monitored for
the last several months from loca
tions within the boundaries of the
continental United States.”
The newspaper also said:
“The system can also deter
mine the location of missile
launching sites and can evaluate
the performance of a rocket
thousands of miles away. Such
information has already yielded
important guide lines on the state
of the Soviet missile program.”
