Here follows an excerpt from the "Abandoned and Little-Known Airfields" website written by Paul Freeman:

A 1994 USGS aerial photo of a building which sat at the southwest corner of the former EEBEE airfield. Mike Kentes recalled, “I visited it on 2 occasions. The building was a large hangar-type structure that was used for Electro-Magnetic Pulse testing. I guessed it was used for EMP testing because there were thousands of pieces of paper all over the floor about protecting against EMP pulses. The inside was a large wooden platform covered with sand, with a test stand in the middle, about the size of a phone booth. It was all-around weird. When I say large, I mean LARGE, it could have held a blimp. But sadly it is no longer there. It was used by the Fairfax County Fire Department as a training burn.”
