From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Anclote Missile Tracking Annex was a Cold War radar station of 49.65 acres (20.09 ha) in Pasco County, Florida[1] adjacent to the Alachua Pinellas community[2] at the mouth of the Anclote River near Tampa. The Air Force Systems Command military installation, site D 3 of the Eglin Range Complex, was used for development tests, e.g., 1950s/1960s Regulus II supersonic cruise missile firings from the Venice missile launch complex.

The Anclote site "phased down" May 1-July 1, 1969.[3]
