A bit earlier 2017 was given as the IOC for the Kwajalein S-band radar, but the project has been under review since sequestration. The second S-band seems to have disappeared from the discussion. [OT] BTW, note that the savings that are claimed from shutting down the present VHF system are claimed to be $14M/yr, whereas the cost of procuring the S-band system will run in the $1B-$3B range, presumably spread out over a decade or so. The financial logic of that is not totally obvious.
