The Salt Lake City Radar Bomb Scoring Site[3] ("Salt Lake Bomb Plot")[1] is a Formerly Used Defense Site that was an automatic tracking (AUTOTRACK) radar station during the Cold War.
Operated by Detachment 6 of the 11th Radar Bomb Scoring Squadron[3] which had relocated from the Phoenix semi-mobile RBS station in December 1964,[4] the military installation evaluated practice bomb runs by Strategic Air Command simulating attacks on the metropolitan area (e.g., during the 1955 Bombing and Navigation Competition)[5] and on the Hill Air Force Range[6] which had been the Salt Lake City Army Air Base Gunnery Range in World War II.
Originally part of the Salt Lake City Army Airfield, the 0.34 acres (0.14 ha) site at "Salt Lake City Municipal Airport No.
1 (now Salt Lake City International Airport), on the corner of Second Street and E Street"[3] was leased by the USAF from the Salt Lake City Corporation for the site.
in May 2005 the site was part of the 135 acres (55 ha) Utah Air National Guard installation.
