Although no large-scale crossings of the Morice Line were attempted by the FLN after 1958, smaller groups still tried to get across from time to time and - when discovered were attacked by the B-26s and Privateers. In 1960 these strikes began to be directed by the French Army Cotal radars installed at Bir EI Ater and Megrine. The Cotal was primarily intended for ground surveillance but also had a limited ground-to-air capability. By switching from 'ground' to 'air' mode when the bombers arrived, they could be guided to the target with fairly good accuracy.
