The Pacific Missile Range Facility is the largest multi-environment (air, space, surface, and undersea) instrumented test range. As part of a series of facility upgrades, new microwave data links capable of high capacity data traffic were installed to link the main site with two tracking and telemetry sites.

The Howland Company surveyed the proposed tower locations and prepared path profile and propagation analyses for the new point-to-point microwave network.
