FAA would worry about all radars.
A THAAD battery is set up at Guam. The TPY 2 probably puts out enough RF energy to concern aircraft and life forms in the array spread at close range. I do not know TPY 2 other than X band which is extreme high frequency and uses a lot of volts.

I won’t go into a couple of war stories but radars like MDA handle can do strange things to electronics in their close range, some not discovered until the first unexpected event.
It is not beyond an SPY 6 longer range than TPY 2 deployment, that would require site design in the radar over the DDG usage.
I have not found what else MDA is doing for intercept, sensors and command/control. Probably Patriots around high value points.
MDA running this thru Army!
The P-8 would (will) have some of the same problems.
