Re: Groom Lake RCS Range

The RCS pylon is on a concrete pad on a loop road located near the western edge of the lakebed. You cant miss it.

Subscale and full-scale models, and actual aircraft have been pole-tested there. Early A-12 models were tested at a range near Indian Springs.

Other RCS sites can be found at White Sands, New Mexico and several places in California:

Helendale - Lockheed (now Lockheed Martin

Grey Butte - McDonnell Douglas (no longer RCS range, sold to General Atomics)

Tejon Ranch - Northrop (now Northrop Grumman)

Arvin - Rockwell (no longer active)
