Amerikansk C4I og Early Warning base i North Yorkshire i
England, ud til Nordsøen; et led i USAs stjernekrigsprojekter og rumimperialisme.
Fylingdales er fra 1999 moderniseret med Milsatcom uden britisk parlamentarisk
kontrol og godkendelse.
Basen er oprettet i 1963 i et naturreservat, North York Moors
National Park, i et område der har været benyttet til
militære øvelsesskydninger fra omkring første
verdenskrig og fremefter. Fylingdales er et af de britiske led i
USAs stjernekrigsprojekter med bl.a. Milstar og
BMEWS-installationer, hvor BMEWS-radaren er oprettet i
begyndelsen af 1964.
Fylingdales was first established to counter the threat to the USA
posed by Sputnik (Oct 1957). The decision must have been made
immediately after because the first act was the purchase in 1958 of
the Commoners' Rights to the land (to graze sheep, dig peat,
etc).
Fylingdales now normally performs two functions:
a) monitoring satellites as they come up over the horizon.
b) monitoring space junk. Its early warning function of identifying
ICBMs aimed from the Eurasion landmass
over the poles to USA is in identifying anything unusual. The data
is transmitted to US Space Command HQ in Cheyenne Mountain via
Milsatcom.
