Remains of some of the Cold War-era fortifications in the Keys. "Bravo Battery" was one of four HAWK missile batteries on and near Key West. Part of the site is an FAA radio facility, while one group of launchers is now a paintball park. Whole area of the battery is now open to the public (2011).

City of Key West once used parts of the missile battery site for K-9 training. The bunker appears to have been used by the airport for storage.
