Nike Site in Coventry

Between 1953 and the early 1960s, Project NIKE was launched to try to protect the country against a Soviet attack during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Nike site included guided missiles that would serve as a last line in a defensive shield against such attacks. The missiles would have to be ready to launch within 15 minutes in case of an attack. One such site was Coventry, followed by Woonsocket, Quonset Point, Foster, and North Smithfield. Several hundred bases of this nature were also built across the country. The National Guard was responsible for commanding each site. Members of the Rhode Island Army Guard received specialized training and working the radar installations and missile sites. The Coventry launch site was ultimately abandoned in the mid-1960s because advanced technology replaced the site’s missiles.

Individuals who worked at military bases or buildings constructed before the 1980s is at risk for having been exposed to asbestos. Because asbestos was affordable, durable and resistant to heat and chemicals, it was used to construct many military buildings, barracks, and mess halls. Those who worked in construction or maintenance were most at risk for exposure, but many others could have also been exposed.
