Ground-to-Air Transmitter Facility

A Ground-to-Air Transmitter Facility (GAT Facility) was a USAF radio uplink station located near CIM-10 Bomarc bases (e.g., Suffolk County Missile Annex on Long Island) for Cold War command guidance of the Interceptor Missiles. The unmanned military installations with a transmitter building and 2 antenna towers converted the digital "midcourse guidance commands" (after the launch/climb and before the homing dive) received from an AN/FSQ-7 Combat Direction Central into the transmitter building's Digital Data Receivers processing 28 channels of uplink data.
