Bayshore Bomb Scoring Site

The Bayshore Bomb Scoring Site ("base facility identifier" 26001F)^[1] is a Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS)^[2] that was used as a Strategic Air Command radar station for Radar Bomb Scoring. The site was activated in 1963^[3] at Charlevoix, Michigan by Detachment 6 of the 1CEVG's Radar Bomb Scoring Division. Det 6 moved to the site from Ironwood, Michigan,^* and was tracking the 1971 Big Rock Point B-52 crash.^[4]

The Bayshore site was rebuilt after a 1967 television fire, closed in 1985.^[5]

Notes

The Ironwood RBS site was established when the unit and equipment moved from Guam (10th RBS Squadron Det 12)^[6] in July 1960.^[7]
