R2206 LTA
The National Defense Authorization Act directed the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) to deploy a tracking and discrimination sensor to support national security against emerging threats. Clear Space Force Station (CSFS) was selected as the preferred site for the Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) and the United States Air Force was designated as the lead service.
After reviewing the original R2206 Restricted area, it was determined a larger area would be needed to protect aircraft and personnel from encountering excessive interference from LRDR transmissions. MDA, in cooperation with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Department of Defense (DoD), developed and submitted the proposal to expand the existing R-2206 and to minimize the impact to Clear Airport by establishing an Aircraft Operating Zone (AOZ) (See URL link https://www.faasafety.gov/files/notices/2022/Dec/R2206_LTA.pdf).
