[1] In 1946 the Air Force began studies for the creation of a radar station on top of the ouvrage.

Construction began in 1952, and in 1955 major construction was undertaken in the ouvrage for a radar control room and operations center, which was placed in operation in 1957, originally designated Station Maître Radar 50/921.

In 1991 the base was named for Commandant de Laubier, a hero of the defense of Sedan in 1940.
