Genesee Mountain Park Training Annex (1955–70) was a U.S. Air Force radar station, an outstation of Lowry Air Force Base. It is a Formerly Used Defense Site (# B08CO0493) of 3 acres (1.2 ha) at Genesee Park (Colorado) Early in the Cold War, Lowry AFB supported Strategic Air Command nuclear bomber training (e.g., B-47, B-52, etc.) with and by January 1962, the "Tactical Missile School at Lowry" conducted Matador missile training "in the Black Hangar" (the surface-to-surface missile used Matador Automatic Radar Control for autotrack.) Automatic tracking radar was also used in Korean War ground-directed bombing training for live bomb drops at ranges like the Lowry Bombing and Gunnery Range (the early 1960s Titan 1 sites near Denver also had tracking radars in a "guidance facility".)
