Both were installed in 1970.<ref>The Army version has the same design as the Air Force version, but the design of the delay lines in the Beam Forming Networks inside the Central Building are different. The Army used what is called a "Lumped Constant" delay line design and the Air Force used a "Coaxial" delay line design.</ref> The Ramasun Station array was dismantled in 1975 following base closure.
