SBX Said Near Completion

June 8, 2005 :: AP :: News

The SBX, currently being constructed in Corpus Christi, Texas, is an advanced radar system mounted on a semi-submersible oil-drilling rig. According to U.S. Army Col. Michael Smith, project manager of SBX, workers will test the rig’s mobility in the Gulf of Mexico before the SBX travels this summer around South America to its new home in Adak, Alaska. The rig is almost 240 feet wide and therefore cannot pass through the Panama Canal. (Article)
