Triangular tower in images

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this before, but the triangular tower looks very similar to a phased array radar system made by Ratheon. I used to work on one of these systems in the UK about 18 years ago and based on the design, size and location I would think that it is highly likely that this is the same.
These systems have a range of many thousands of miles and are perfect for a location like this as they have no moving parts but can look from horizon to about 15 degreees off vertical. They also have an amazing response time and would be perfect to track very fast airborne vehicles, even stealth!
