Kwajalein: The Next Fifty Years

Abstract

MIT Lincoln Laboratory has had staff resident on Kwajalein continuously since 1962. The primary mission support areas, the types of tests, and the sensor suite have all changed significantly over that time frame. The continuing evolution and importance of the ongoing missions suggest that the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site (RTS) will remain vital to the U.S. Department of Defense for many years into the future.
