Upgrading the mountain/ Renovations aim to keep NORAD up-to-date
|
Deep inside the granite walls of Cheyenne Mountain is the nerve
center of the nation's early warning defense system. It stands as a
tripwire against attack from anywhere in the world.
But that comfort comes at considerable cost. During the past two
decades, the Air Force spent nearly $2 billion to upgrade the
technology inside the mountain. Now, it's about to do it all over
again.

Mountain's computer and communications equipment to provide a clearer
and more complete view of everything that flies in the world and in
space.
