An annotated bibliography of the Distant Early Warning (DEW) System. The DEW Line was an integrated chain of early warning radar and communication stations constructed between 1953 and 1957 from northwestern Alaska across northern Canada. The DEW System remained in use throughout the mid to late 1980s. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, it was replaced with the North Warning System (NWS).

This report presents the results of an inventory and evaluation of Cold War-era buildings and structures at eight Distant Early Warning (DEW) installations. These eight installations represent the original, experimental Alaska Segment of DEW installations that provided the first comprehensive, defensive working system for possible attacks aimed at the North American continent (Thompson 1986) during the period of 1953 through 1969. The eight installations and their function within he system...

The Alaska Radar System (ARS), which currently consists of 15 active Long Range Radar Sites (LRRS) throughout Alaska, is an essential component of North America’s air defense. It provides air space surveillance, early warning against attack, intercept control, and navigational assistance to both military and civilian aircraft. It is administered by the Eleventh Air Force, through the 611th Air Support Group (611 ASG) headquartered at Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson (JBER) in Anchorage, Alaska....
