[edit]

Towering nearly 300 ft in the air, it is tasked with tracking incoming ballistic missiles as part of the National Missile Defense Network. It's radar systems are so sensitive, and so powerful that it is said to be able track a baseball in Dodger Stadium from New York City, and must be turned off when approaching land to prevent injuries and electronic disruptions. While her nickname suggests something far more sinister, she is no weapon, merely a highly sophisticated electronic watchdog.
