Georgia Air National Guard

The 116th Air Control Wing is the Air Force’s first Total Force wing. It is comprised of 10 different categories of personnel from the active duty Air Force, Army, Air National Guard, federal civilian workforce, State of Georgia, and industrial contractors. The many similarities and differences among these 10 statuses of personnel make for a very dynamic organization that has not been experienced before in the military.  Our unit is on Robins AFB, Warner Robins, GA which is located in Middle Georgia, 100 miles south of Atlanta and 16 miles south of Macon. Robins Air Force Base is the largest industrial complex in Georgia.  It is situated on 8,722 acres and contains more than 14 million square feet of facilities and employs more than 20,000 contractors, military members, and DoD civilian service workers.

Our mission is Joint STARS operation and maintenance. Joint STARS consists of an airborne platform--an E-8C aircraft with a multi-mode radar system--and U.S. Army mobile Common Ground Stations (CGSs). The E-8C, a modified Boeing 707, is equipped with a 40-foot long canoe-shaped radome mounted under the forward fuselage which houses a 24-foot side-looking phased array radar antennae. The radar is capable of providing targeting and battle management data to all Joint STARS operators, both in the aircraft and in the CGSs, through secure data links. These operators, in turn, can call on aircraft, missiles or artillery for fire support. With a reported range in excess of 150 miles, this radar can cover an estimated 386,100 square miles in a single eight-hour sortie.
