The Statesboro Bomb Scoring Site[2] is a Formerly Used Defense Site I04GA0575[3] that was a Strategic Air Command (SAC) AUTOTRACK radar station for Radar Bomb Scoring during the Cold War. Detachment 3 of the 10th Radar Bomb Scoring Squadron had begun "Statesboro Bomb Plot" operations by June 1963.[4]

In addition to a Reeves AN/MSQ-39 Bomb Scoring Central with fresnel antenna, during the Vietnam War the station used a Soviet T2A radar with 2 radomes for simulating surface-to-air missile tracking to train/exercise aircraft crews in electronic countermeasures (electronic warfare).[5]
