The Statesboro Bomb Scoring Site is a Formerly Used Defense Site I04GA0575 that was a Strategic Air Command (SAC) AUTOTRACK radar station for Radar Bomb Scoring during the Cold War. Detachment 3 of the 10th Radar Bomb Scoring Squadron had begun "Statesboro Bomb Plot" operations by June 1963.

In addition to a Reeves AN/MSQ-39 Bomb Scoring Central with fresnel antenna, during the Vietnam War the station used a Soviet T2A radar with 2 radomes for simulating surface-to-air missile tracking to train/exercise aircraft crews in electronic countermeasures (electronic warfare).
