Nuclear missile warning system. This computer is part of the nuclear missile monitoring and early warning system used to track missiles in the atmosphere and in space after their launch. This monitor is located at the Missile Warning Operations Center (MWOC) at Cape Cod Air Force Station, Massachusetts, USA. This includes a PAVE PAWS radar station, operated by 6th Space Warning Squadron. Incoming sea-launched or intercontinental ballistic missiles will show on the screen here, and alerts will be sent to North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and United States Northern Command. Photographed on 26 October 1999.
