Background

CAM-A, Sturt Point is a former Intermediate Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line radar station constructed in 1957 by the United States Air Force (USAF)) and was subsequently abandoned in 1963. Responsibility for the site was assumed by the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (DIAND) in 1965. The site is located on the southern coast of Victoria Island, overlooking the Queen Maud Gulf, at 6847' 10320'

The nearest community to CAM-A is Cambridge Bay located approximately 80 km to west. CAM-A is also located approximately 25 km southeast of CAM-A3A which was constructed as a Short Range Radar facility (SSR) during the modernization of the DEW Line in the late 1980' and early 1990'

The CAM-A Intermediate DEW Line site included station area facilities, consisting of a module train, warehouse, garage, a POL storage facility and a radar tower. Access to the site is provided by a 1200 m long airstrip, located north of the station facilities and beach landing areas located to the south of the station facilities. A Fresh Water Lake is located approximately 600 m northwest of the airstrip. Gravel roads were built linking the airstrip, Beach Area and Fresh Water Lake to the Station Area facilities.

Infrastructure remaining on site includes the powerhouse module of the building train, a felled Doppler communication tower and foundations from the garage, warehouse and two Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricants (POL) storage and distribution facilities.
