I wonder if you are referring to the upgraded installations at RAF Benbecula, Boulmer, Buchan, Fylingdales, Neatishead, Portreath, Saxa Vord, Scampton and Staxton Wold which in fact are part of the Air Surveillance And Control System - (ASACS) Force Command.
The majority of sites above, have had their ‘golfballs’ replaced with the State Phased Array Radar (SSPAR) and constantly send their updated information to the Integrated Command and Control System (ICCS).
Not mentioned but still an integral part of the ASACS(UK), are the No 1 Air Control Centre - Kirton in Lindsey and the Remote Radar Heads (RRH) of Aird on the island of Uig and RAF Brizlee Wood in Northumberland.
RAF Boulmer is also the full time NATO Control and Reporting Centre.
Incidentally, Staxton Wold has been operating since 1939 and is the oldest radar installation in the world.
