Empire Air Force Station is a former United States Air Force Aerospace Defense Command (ADC) long range radar site located 0.7 miles (1.1 km) south-southeast of Empire Michigan in Empire Township. It was closed in 1978 by the Air Force and turned over to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Today the site is part of the Joint Surveillance System (JSS) designated by NORAD as Northeast Air Defense Sector (NEADS) Ground Equipment Facility.
