A vast radar network across the Arctic.

Between the DEW Line and the Pinetree Line, the Mid-Canada Line operated as a short-lived second line of defense.

Scattering what sounded like sharp, repetitive tapping noises on shortwave; they scanned the horizon.

An early warning radar to detect and characterize a sea-launched ballistic missile attack against the United States.
