Stanley R. Mickelsen
Safeguard Complex in North Dakota. This complex was the only operational
Anti-Ballistic Missile defense system in the United States during the 1970's.

The best website

supplies and equipment used in them and different Air Raid warning systems
is
here at the
Civil Defense Museum.
