AN / FPS - 129 The AN / FPS - 129 HAVE STARE radar , known better as the Globus II radar , is a space surveillance system operated by the Norwegian Intelligence Service . Its stated tasks are to watch outer space , observe Norwegian areas of interest abroad , and to gather information that can be used within the fields of research and development . The radar may be used for national research and development through the Norwegian Military ' s Research Institute ( Forsvarets Forskningsinstitutt ) or civilian scientific institutions . Globus II has two tasks within the stated task of watching space . The first task is to gather metric data from satellites , which is used by the US Space Command to produce and maintain the Space Catalog , which contains orbit data on all man - made objects in outer space . The second task is to create high - resolution radar imagery by selected objects in space . Globus - II is allegedly capable of observing satellites in geosynchronous orbit at ranges of some 40 , 000 kilometers from Vardø , which is where the radar is deployed . Its TPO is 200 kW , which is relatively little when compared with other radars . Globus - II is still able to see objects far away , because the combination of the antenna , which is a dish diameter of 27 meters , and a relatively high frequency gives a concentrated narrow antenna beam , enabling the energy to be used with maximum effect . It can allegedly detect objects in the 1 – 10 cm size range . One radar of this type was previously deployed in Vandenberg Air Force Base , California and has been moved to the Globus II station in Vardø , Norway .

Bernera Barracks Bernera Barracks is located in Glenelg in the West Highlands of Scotland . The barracks were constructed between 1717 and 1723 as part of a campaign by the British government to subdue the local population which had risen up in arms in the Jacobite Rising of 1715 , and which would do so again in 1745 . The barracks were designed by Andrews Jelfe and John Lambertus Romer of the Board of Ordnance , or possibly their predecessor James Smith , and built by Sir Patrick Strachan . Some of the stone used in the construction was taken from a nearby broch . The Government troops who were garrisoned here during the Jacobite uprisings were also intended to control the crossing to Skye . The barracks ( and indeed the broch ) are now in ruins , a state which they appear to have entered by the close of the eighteenth century , shortly after the withdrawal of troops in 1797 . The barracks is protected as a category A listed building , and as a scheduled monument .

However the wreck is in a fishing ground and is surrounded by discarded fishing nets , making any approach hazardous , while the depth requires specialized breathing arrangements .

The naval and air force bases will retain separate base commanders who will oversee operations and mission requirements for their respective installations .
