The Dimona Radar facility has two 400 meter (1,300 feet) tall radar towers designed to track ballistic missiles through space and provide ground-based missiles with the targeting data needed to intercept them.[1] Whilst some claim it uses AN/TPY-2 X-band radar, which can detect missiles up to 1,500 miles / 2,400 kilometers away[2], it is worth noting that this radar type does not typically involve a radar tower. The towers are owned and operated by the US military, and provide only secondhand intelligence to Israel.[2][1]
