• The Navy wants to operate the ROTHR in Puerto Rico for 20 years.
• ROTHR is a sophisticated network of antennas capable of detecting drug shipments as they leave South America.
• ROTHR consists of a huge transmitter and receiver separated by at least 80 kilometers ( 50 miles ).
• ROTHR's receiving system won't emit dangerous electrical emissions, the biggest concern of environmentalists and farmers opposing the radar.
• But opponents claim ROTHR is not necessary because the island already has the Aerostat, a radar installation with a range of about 200 miles.
• The environmental impact statement, prepared by the private firm TAMS Consultants Inc ., says ROTHR poses no threat to residents nor the environment.
• ROTHR is opposed by farmers and environmental groups who argue the system will emit a high dosage of electric emissions that could harm the environment and the people.
• The ROTHR's command center would be in Norfolk, Va ., where the U . S . Navy already operates radar systems in Virginia and Texas.
• The $ 9-million Relocatable Over-The-Horizon Radar ( ROTHR ) is a sophisticated network of antennas capable of detecting drug shipments as they leave South America.
• Rexach Benitez said the Navy failed to include in its Environmental Impact Statement information about the alternative sites for its dlrs 9 million Relocatable-Over-The-Horizon Radar ( ROTHR ).
• The study, done by TAMS Consultants Inc ., concluded " The construction of ROTHR in any of the sites would not have any impact on endangered species nor their habitats ."
• "The construction of ROTHR in any of the sites would not have any impact on endangered species nor their habitats, " said the document, issued to several government officials in July.
• McCloskey, however, said that the Navy was optimistic that the ROTHR would be in place and operating by 1997, despite a constant shower of criticism from the island's environmentalists and members of the agricultural sector.
• Gov . Pedro Rossello has said he supports the proposed Relocatable-Over-The-Horizon Radar ( ROTHR ) because it would help eliminate the drug problem, blamed for over 90 percent of the island's crime.
• Barker said ROTHR is different from Aerostat because it has a much longer range that can intercept planes or boats deep in South America by bouncing radio waves some 25 miles ( 40 kms ) above the earth's surface.
• The document, prepared by the private firm TAMS Consultants, Inc ., supports Navy's claims in that the impact of the dlrs 9 million Relocatable-Over-The Horizon-Radar ( ROTHR ) would be minimal.
• The $ 9 million Relocatable-Over-The Horizon Radar ( ROTHR ) would track low-flying aircraft and boats carrying drug shipments from Colombia, Peru and Brazil, areas not covered by similar devices in Texas and Virginia.
• The Navy wants to set up its Relocatable-Over-the-Horizon-Radar ( ROTHR ) in this U . S . territory between the Dominican Republic and the Virgin Islands to bolster its fight against South American drug cartels.
• Navy Lt . Commander Ed Barker told The Associated Press the component of the Relocatable-Over-The Horizon-Radar ( ROTHR ) planned for the southwestern Lajas Valley is a receiver similar to a television set's antennas or FM radio.
