Propellant Aging and Mechanical Properties Facility

State-of-the-Art laboratory and remote aging facilities, unique to the Army, dedicated to characterization and sensitivity testing of energetic materials used in rocket motors, warheads, and related ordnance devices. Engineering analysis tools and test equipment to assess solid rocket motor structural integrity and service life extension, and to perform analytical chemistry evaluations, forensic investigations on failed hardware, or foreign systems exploitation. Completed in 1988, it meets DoD's rigorous safety requirements for attended operations, storage, and handling of hazardous propulsion materials.
