  • On Dec. 9, 2015, Sandia National Laboratories successfully conducted a forward ballistic rocket sled calibration test at the 10,000-ft. track. The mass mock test unit hit the target point within a fraction of an inch after a 73-foot free-flight at 260 miles per hour. The test met all impact requirements and all dynamic measurements were successfully recorded. The high speed 3D imaging diagnostics shown in this video highlight the unique precision measurement capabilities available at Sandia's Validation and Qualification Sciences Experimental Complex.

    The most elegant piece of design work is hardly noted: The water brake system!
    The rest is pretty straight forward just how anybody would do it. But the water brake system is pure genius!

      I really like the release and pull down system for the carrier sled so the missile is in free flight when it hits the target.

      Sandia National Lab is a very well-funded long-standing National Laboratory. This is from the Wiki page
      [ Sandia began in 1945 as Z Division, the ordnance design, testing, and assembly arm of Los Alamos National Laboratory. It became Sandia Laboratory in 1948 and, in 1949, Sandia Corporation was established as a Western Electric company to manage the laboratory. ]
