Nike Missile Site C47 is a former missile site near Portage, Indiana. The Nike defense system was a Cold War-era missile system in the United States. Nike missiles were radar guided, supersonic antiaircraft missiles. The planners hoped that Nike would make a direct attack on the U.S. so costly as to be futile.〔No. 4799001669; National Register of Historic Places, Registration Form; Nike Missile Site C47; United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, 2000〕 Nike missile sites were constructed in defensive rings around major urban and industrial areas. Chicago was likely selected because of its population, the presence of several military bases, and the Gary, Indiana, steel industry.〔 Nike C-47 (Nike 1B, 1C/12H, 20A/12L-U, (8L-H)) near Portage designed with two units nearly a mile apart.
