Launch Test Facility

Abstract

Project Unit 3237: Project constructs a new Launch Test Facility to support surface launch testing and evaluation of full-scale launch technologies. The project construction is authorized by 10 U.S.C. Section 2353, funded from Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) appropriations, and will have no general utility and utilized solely to meet RDT&E contractual requirements. This project enables full-scale testing of a Trident II D5LE SWS missile launcher subsystem to collect launch event information for verification and validation of modeling and simulation software, to evaluate and demonstrate launcher subsystem performance, and to qualify the launcher subsystem hardware. This project provides a test facility to conduct qualification testing of full-scale launcher hardware. The project will provide performance and safety data to mitigate the risk of a tactical failure in the fleet.
