EMCOMMWEST 2010 Forum, Saturday Morning, 9:00 a.m. – Promenade Room Lt Col Corey Keppler, USAF Pave PAWS for Peace The heart of the nation’s missile warning capabilities, the Pave Phased Array Warning System, or Pave PAWS, has been monitoring the skies surrounding North America since the early 1980s. The system’s main purpose is to detect and track both intercontinental and sea-launched ballistic missiles. It’s a job it does well. “If something’s out there, we’ll see it,” said Colonel Keppler in a 2009 interview. “And that’s really what our job is, to detect launches, track them and provide data to the right agencies.” Beale Air Force Base is one of five Pave PAWS sites that are scattered around the globe.
