Peace campaign launched against deep space radar station in Wales

PEACE campaigners in Wales are launching a campaign today against plans by the British and US militaries to build a giant deep-space radar station in Pembrokeshire.

The deep space advanced radar concept (Darc) at Cawdor barracks, near the village of Brawdy, would operate as part of the three-way security pact between Australia, Britain and the United States (Aukus).

The military alliance plans to build three Darc radar installations in each country to track foreign countries’ communications and military satellites in space, enabling British, US and Australian aircraft to destroy them with anti-satellite missiles.
