Narrative:
The MTR X departed henry post army airfield sebound. Lawton tower had traffic on a left downwind for runway 17. Lawton tower was not advised of the MTR X traffic and did not observe the traffic until it was in close proximity to the opposite direction traffic on downwind. Lawton tower does not have any type of radar and has to rely on prompt, accurate traffic calls from henry post tower or ft sill approach control. Installation of the BRITE radar at lawton would enable lawton tower controllers to observe traffic in a more timely manner and increase the level of safety afforded to the pilots.

Title: MIL ACFT DEPARTING ADJACENT ARPT COMES IN CLOSE PROX TO AN SMT IN THE TFC PATTERN.
Narrative: THE MTR X DEPARTED HENRY POST ARMY AIRFIELD SEBOUND. LAWTON TWR HAD TFC ON A L DOWNWIND FOR RWY 17. LAWTON TWR WAS NOT ADVISED OF THE MTR X TFC AND DID NOT OBSERVE THE TFC UNTIL IT WAS IN CLOSE PROX TO THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION TFC ON DOWNWIND. LAWTON TWR DOES NOT HAVE ANY TYPE OF RADAR AND HAS TO RELY ON PROMPT, ACCURATE TFC CALLS FROM HENRY POST TWR OR FT SILL APCH CTL. INSTALLATION OF THE BRITE RADAR AT LAWTON WOULD ENABLE LAWTON TWR CTLRS TO OBSERVE TFC IN A MORE TIMELY MANNER AND INCREASE THE LEVEL OF SAFETY AFFORDED TO THE PLTS.
