===Surviving arrays and replacements=== The last two FRD-10 HF/DF arrays were installed in 1971 for the Canadian Forces in [[CFB Gander|Gander, Newfoundland]] ({{coord|48.9511|N|54.5252|W|scale:5000}}) and [[Masset, British Columbia]] ({{coord|54.0288|N|132.0654|W|scale:5000}}). After the Hanza array was decommissioned in 2006, the Canadian Armed Forces became the operators of one of the last two existing FRD-10 arrays. Later in the 1970s, [[Plessey]] (now [[Roke Manor Research Limited]]) of the United Kingdom developed the smaller, more economical Pusher CDAA array. At least 25 Pusher CDAAs were installed in many countries around the world. Several Pusher arrays were installed in U.S. military facilities, where the array is known as the AN/FRD-13. In 1998 the Augsburg array ({{coord|48.45121|N|10.86275|E|scale:10000}})—located in Gablingen, a town in the north of Augsburg—was turned over to the [[Bundesnachrichtendienst]]. Technology enthusiasts, reporters, and even local politicians are still not admitted to the complex and there are few official statements about its purpose. The area was greyed out in the map layers of Google Maps<ref>Remark: It was clearly visible in Google on 22 May 2015.</ref> and Bing Maps. Therefore, it is believed to be still in service being used by BND and NSA as part of a larger complex of combined informational technology. Currently,{{when|date=July 2020}} the Strategic Reconnaissance Command of the [[Bundeswehr|German Armed Forces]] operates a circularly disposed array in [[Bramstedtlund]] with a diameter of {{convert|410|m}} as one of its three stationary [[Sigint]] battalions.
