1. (TSR) This report describes the Kaliningrad Unidentified Command and Control Facility
North/Bunkered/Hard and contains a location map, two annotated photographs, a map depicting
the communications antenna beam azimuths, and a table containing antenna data.
2. ~ Kaliningrad Unidentified Command and Control Facility North/Bunkered/Hard* is 25X1
in the Baltic Military District, 17.8 nautical miles (nm) north-northwest of Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea
coast. This facility is one of a number of command posts in the Kaliningrad area subordinate to the
Baltic Fleet Headquarters.' The facility probably supports the Baltic Fleet Soviet Naval Aviation out-
of-area communications and is probably involved in controlling aircraft that support the land forces.' It
cannot be determined from photography if this is a transmitting or a receiving facility although it was
previously reported to be a receiving facility.'
BASIC DESCRIPTION
3. (TSR) The command and control facility is secured by a fence and consists of a control
bunker, seven horizontal dipole antennas, an R-400/-404 microwave antenna, a mast with an
unidentified antenna, a type C communications satellite (comsat) station, a rectangular cooling
pond, three single-story barracks, a powerplant, an administration building, a vehicle maintenance
building, a helicopter landing pad, a firehouse, a vehicle park, and a vehicle storage shed under
construction (Figure 1)
4. (TSR) The flat-roofed control bunker
tion began on the bunker in 1971, and it was complete and covered by earth

7. (TSR) Probable mobile communications vehicles/vans were observed for the first time in
a vehicle park During 1978, from 32 to 47 vehicles/vans were observed in the 25X1
vehicle park, and during 1979, from 37 to 39 vehicles/vans were observed.
8. (TSR)
a vehicle storage shed was observed under construction in the
vehicle park area.
9 (TSR) A probable mobile communications training exercise (Figure 3) was observed
0.5 nm west of the facility. Fifty-three probable communications vehicles/vans were
deployed in a dispersed pattern in an open field. These vehicles/vans probably did not come from
the vehicle park in the support area, since the normal complement of vehicles/vans was present at
the vehicle park during the time of the exercise.
