Joint Surveillance System

Download coordinates as: The JSS consists of long range surveillance radars, primarily operated and maintained by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), but providing communication and radar data to both FAA and United States Air Force control centers.

These radars are generally unattended except for periodic FAA maintenance crews which visit the sites as necessary.

The USAF Air Combat Command portion of the JSS is composed of three Continental United States (CONUS) Sector Operations Control Centers (SOCC) equipped with Battle Control System-Fixed (BCS-F) displays.

Each SOCC functions as the primary command and control center in each NORAD region during crisis or attack as long as they are capable.
