New types of radar security systems, developed by Sylvania Electronic Systems, were selected to guard nation's ICBM bases; systems use bistatic Doppler radar to blanket missile silos and perimeters around Launch Control Facilities with field of electromagnetic radiation; alarm sounds at intrusion of human being; one system generates point-to-point field of radiation along narrow lines and will be used to protect perimeters around LCF above ground missile storage areas; other system creates 3-dimensional " umbrella" or dome of radiation around silos; operation.
