Plose is a mountain range in the Autonomous Province of Bolzano – South Tyrol in northern Italy. It has 3 peaks: Telegraph (2486 m), Pfannspitze (2547 m) and Gabler (2576 m). It is a popular ski location in winter and hiking area in summer. The nearest town is Brixen (Bressanone), 6 km to the west.
Located on the Telegraph are disused buildings that were a base for the 16th Air Force Radar Centre, active from 1958 to 1978. There are several communication and broadcasting transmitters currently located here. One of the masts belongs to the Agency for Civil Protection and is located in a compound approximately 200m south of the old air force centre. The land is owned by a Farmers Cooperative called the Plosachalpe Interest Group.
The NCAS moveable X-band radar (NXPol-2) was deployed alongside this compound for the TEAMx project in Summer 2025.
