Arlington Heights Air Force Station was activated on 1 April 1960, when Williams Bay AFS was redesignated from P-31 to gap-filler RP-31F. In 1962, the station began providing Semi-Automatic Ground Environment radar tracks to Data Center DC-02 at Truax Field, Wisconsin, for the Chicago Air Defense Sector's ground-controlled interception.[4] One of the two Arlington Heights Air Force Station's General Electric AN/FPS-6 Radars height finders was upgradedШаблон:When to the -6B variant and then the -90 variant,[6] and the station's Bendix AN/FPS-20 Radar was also upgraded to an AN/FPS-67.
