10 OCTOBER laSer teSt Facility cHangeS HandS The U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command took charge of the High Energy Laser Systems Test Facility at White Sands Missile Range, N.M., operated since 1990 by the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command. The transfer is an effort to reduce overall overhead for Army laser test facilities while continuing to support customers. Programs conducted at the facility include the Tactical High Energy Laser program, Mobile Tactical High Energy Laser program, tracking and interception of rocket, artillery, and mortar projectiles in flight, and using a low-powered chemical laser to acquire and track a satellite. USASMDC/ARSTRAT will continue to conduct testing there, including the High Energy Laser Technology Demonstrator and Solid State Laser Testbed Experiment. 3,260 military and civilian students educated in Space & Missile defense 11 NOVEMBER arMy launcHeS advanced HyperSonic weapon deMonStrator In an event which lasted less than 30 minutes, USASMDC/ARSTRAT conducted the first test flight of the Advanced Hypersonic Weapon. The AHW, a first-of-its-kind glide vehicle designed to fly within the Earth’s atmosphere at hypersonic speed and long range, was launched from the Pacific Missile Range Facility, Kauai, Hawaii, to U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands. The Advanced Hypersonic Weapon Technology Demonstration is a cooperative effort within the Department of Defense to develop a conventional Prompt Global Strike capability. The program will advance state-ofthe art thermal protection materials, controls and communications, and internal thermal management schemes. In-flight environmental data collection will aid the understanding and modeling efforts for all Prompt Global Strike concepts, such as the Air Force’s Conventional Strike Missile. Hypersonic flight is speeds of about 3,600 mph or higher. 2012 Winter edition Army Space Journal
