TOKYO -- Construction setbacks have impacted a long-range radar system being built by the U.S. Air Force on the Pacific island of Palau, delaying the deployment of an asset designed to boost observational abilities of Washington and its allies in the region.
The Tactical Multi-Mission Over the Horizon Radar (TACMOR), proposed in 2017, was slated for completion in 2026. It includes two sites -- a transmitter on Babeldaob Island and a receiver on Angaur Island.
