America’s military commanders are worried about the possibility of an attack on the United States by an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapon – so much so that the Pentagon plans to spend nearly $1 billion to move the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) communications into an EMP-resistant bunker.
“Because of the very nature of the way that Cheyenne Mountain is built, it’s EMP-hardened,” NORAD’s commander, Admiral William Gortney, told the media.
Cheyenne Mountain outside of Colorado Springs is the location of a giant bunker where NORAD’s headquarters was located from the 1960s until 2006. NORAD is the organization that guards the United States and Canada from missile attacks.
The Cheyenne Mountain bunker was designed to protect NORAD’s equipment from Soviet nuclear missile attacks during the Cold War.
The Defense Department has signed a $700 million contract with Raytheon to install modern communications equipment in the facility.
Back To The Future
All total, the Pentagon will have spent around $850 million to modernize the facilities inside Cheyenne Mountain, Defense One reported. Most of NORAD’s staff pulled out of Cheyenne Mountain and moved to Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs in 2006.
