Editing Midway Atoll (section)

==== Missile Impact Location System ====
From 1958 through 1960, the United States installed the [[Missile Impact Location System]] (MILS) in the Navy-managed Pacific Missile Range, later the Air Force-managed [[Western Range (USSF)|Western Range]], to localize the splashdowns of test missile nose cones. MILS was developed and installed by the same entities that had completed the first phase of the Atlantic and U.S. West Coast SOSUS systems. A MILS installation, consisting of both a target array for precision location and a broad ocean area system for good positions outside the target area, was installed at Midway as part of the system supporting [[Intercontinental Ballistic Missile]] (ICBM) tests. Other Pacific MILS shore terminals were at the [[Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay]] supporting Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM) tests with impact areas northeast of Hawaii and the other ICBM test support systems at [[Wake Island]] and [[Eniwetok]].<ref name=ICAA>{{cite web |title=Integrated Undersea Surveillance System (IUSS) History 1950 - 2010 |publisher=IUSS/CAESAR Alumni Association |url=http://www.iusscaa.org/history.htm |access-date=11 February 2020 |archive-date=February 25, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200225083609/http://www.iusscaa.org/history.htm |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Subcommittee on Military Construction (March–April) |date=April 29, 1959 |title=Military Construction Appropriations for 1960: Hearings |pages=169–170 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=e-JLAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA169 |access-date=16 September 2020 |archive-date=October 1, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201001002732/https://books.google.com/books?id=e-JLAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA169 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Subcommittee on Military Construction (May) |date=May 20, 1959 |title=Military Construction Appropriations for 1960: Hearings |pages=818, 824 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HBVEAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA818 |access-date=16 September 2020 |archive-date=October 1, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201001041550/https://books.google.com/books?id=HBVEAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA818 |url-status=live }}</ref>
