Quote from the Wikipedia article:
“The Selfridge AFB radar station is a United States military facility in Michigan 210 mi (340 km ).[citation needed] A
height finder MIT AN/CPS-4 Radar was added by March 9, 1950;[2] and the station
was site L-17 of the Lashup Radar Network and site LP-17[when?] of the
subsequent network during construction of the Air Defense Command permanent
network. The 661st Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron was activated at
Selfridge in 1951, and with a pair of General Electric AN/CPS-6
Radars,[clarification needed] the station became site LP-20 of the permanent
ADC network in 1952. In
1957 the station added a height finder General Electric AN/FPS-6 Radar. The
station became part of the Semi Automatic Ground Environment radar network in
1959, supplying radar tracks to SAGE data center DC-06 at Custer Air Force
Station, Michigan
By 1960, the AN/CPS-6 radar had been replaced by a Bendix
AN/FPS-20 Radar for general surveillance, and the site had an additional
General Electric AN/FPS-6A height-finder radar. A Sperry AN/FPS-35 radar
installed at the station's tower in 1961 became operational in 1962, and the
AN/FPS-6A height-finder was replaced with an Avco AN/FPS-26A Radar c. 1963. On
31 July 1963, Selfridge AFB was redesignated as NORAD site Z-20.
The 661st AC & WS also operated Gap Filler sites
with Bendix AN/FPS-18 Radars before deactivating on July 1, 1974. The radar
station was shared with the United States Army for Nike missile
command-and-control.
In 1960, Army Air Defense Command Post (AADCP)
D-15DC was constructed for coordinating Nike surface-to-air missile
launches from numerous Michigan batteries from
Algonac/Marine City (D-17) south to Carleton (D-57) & Newport Utica , Newport
