PEACE campaigners united today to condemn the Ministry of Defence’s (MoD) decision to build a deep space radar capability (Darc) site near St Davids, Pembrokeshire.
Defence Secretary John Healey has announced that the facility at Cawdor Barracks will be able to detect, track and identify objects in deep space, in collaboration with radars from Britain’s allies in the Aukus alliance – Australia and the US.
The network of ground-based radars will enable global space monitoring and tracking of objects in deep space up to around 22,000 miles from Earth. It would also enable the alliance to shoot down satellites.
