The Centre de détection et de contrôle militaire (CDC) are the French military air traffic control regional centres, that would respond to a threat within French airspace.
History
[edit]CDC Riesling, for the north-east of France, at Drachenbronn Air Base, closed on 17 July 2015, due to budget cuts in October 2014.
Structure
[edit]There are currently three French CDC centres in operation. One closed in 2012, and another has been made dormant in 2015 - its equipment is still there, but it is not in operation currently.
