US Air Force Systems

[CJ]

They regularly malfunction...

Why does that not suprise me in the slightest?

TACOM Detroit (Detroit Arsenal) has one thunderbolt and a Siratone 1212.
They don't use the 1212 anymore, but they still use the thunderbolt every first Saturday of the month. They also added awhile ago a Modulator and a few DSA arrays. I haven't heard them yet. So I don't know if all turn on at one time or separate.

The United States Air Force Academy has a system of Whelen WPS-2900 series on their base. They vary from 2903s in sparse areas, to 2908s in places such as the stadium, and the cadets area.

Peterson AFB on the east side of town has Whelens too, Unsure of exact model numbers, but they do NOT rotate.

[EOWS 612]

Whiteman AFB in Knob Noster, MO has ATIs, HPS16s if I remember right.

Richards-Gebaur AFB has atleast one STH-10.

I read somewhere that Kingsley Field AFB in Klamath Falls, Oregon, has a siren system, but I have never seen one there.

I'd be very surprised at any military base that didn't have some sort of system.

The Dover Air Force Base in Dover, Del has a system of 5 cell Modulators as well as a 2T22 and an ACA Screamer. It looks to be a nice system... also not an AFB but a couple of other military establishments around me... the Letterkenny Army Depot has a system of ASC Iforce sirens, the US Army War College in Carlisle, Pa has a system of ATI sirens (they are pretty crappy looking), Fort Detrick in Frederick, MD has a system of 3 cell Modulators and the New Cumberland Army Depot ( I am told) has a set of ATI sirens (can't confirm that one). I would really like to record the Iforce sirens at Letterkenny but I am sort of scared to try it plus I don't know when (if ever) they test them. The Franklin County 9-1-1 Center (where I work) is getting ready to move out to the Letterkenny complex (outside the gate though) so I might be able to hear them sometime but I am not really sure when.

I'd love to know more about Fort Detrick, because it's home to USAMRIID (United States Army Research Institute for Infectious Diseases) and God knows how many Level 4 agents they've got in there (smallpox, Ebola, Marburg, Lhassa fever, anthrax, and stuff they don't discuss). Do they have warning for that stuff?

Read The Demon in the Freezer by Richard Preston and you will be scared for sure.

It is funny, I know all of the ugly stuff that Fort Detrick has but I don't even think about it... Fort Detrick is probably 20 miles from me (by road... 10 as the crow flies). I have been on the base a couple of times to photograph thier fire apparatus, it appears to be a nice base!
