Boron Air Force Station is a closed United States Air Force General Surveillance Radar station. It is located 6.8 miles northeast of Boron, California. It was closed by the Air Force in 1975 and turned over to the Federal Aviation Administration . The radar site is still operated by the FAA as part of the Joint Surveillance System .
Boron Air Force Station was one of twenty-eight stations built as part of the second segment of the Air Defense Command permanent radar network. Prompted by the start of the Korean War, on July 11, 1950, the Secretary of the Air Force asked the Secretary of Defense for approval to expedite construction of the permanent network. Receiving the Defense Secretary's approval on July 21, the Air Force directed the Corps of Engineers to proceed with construction.
