Kisecik Radar Station (Turkish language: Kisecik Radar Üssü) is a military installation located at Kisecik village of Antakya district in Hatay Province, southern Turkey.[1]
Construction of the facility for use by NATO started in 1998. It went into service in the summer of 2004. It is situated on a 1,770 m (5,810 ft)-high hilltop of the Nur Mountains close to the Syria–Turkey border. The radar station can cover an area including Middle Eastern countries, Syria and Northern Cyprus. The radar base has installations in underground and aboveground, and is protected by fences.[2] The next radar base in Hatay Province is the Atik Plateau Radar Station at Belen, Hatay.[3]
