Pilatus-radar caption

edit

Actually, one antenna is a radar, but the two domes are (a third probably exists on the opposite side of this ridge) are batteries of Rapier missiles. A similar air defense battery exists on the top of Davos (Eastern air defense). This battery can also be seen very briefly on a US television program, Adventures with Purpose by Richard Bangs who takes an off/late season hike on Pilatus (the radar can be seen rotating). I can't identify the other antenna purpose, but likely military in nature. 143.232.210.38 (talk) 23:28, 17 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
