Phased Launch Test Demonstration (PLTD) N0016426SNB30
Summary
AI-generated · May 27, 2026Develop and demonstrate a Phased Launch Test Demonstration (PLTD) under the Conventional Test Facilities Program at NSWC Crane, to accelerate the readiness of test infrastructure for critical strategic missile systems. The effort centers on rapid prototyping and a phased testing approach to generate early data that will guide key development decisions for future missile and launcher subsystems.
The work will proceed in stages, starting with air-launch tests in the initial phases and progressing to underwater-launch tests in later phases, to validate performance and integration across the missile launcher system in a phased manner.
The Conventional Test Facilities (CTF) Program at the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane is advancing a prototype project opportunity: Phased Launch Test Demonstration for Strategic Systems Programs. The PLTD initiative is designed to accelerate the readiness of test infrastructure for critical strategic missile systems. The project will focus on rapid prototyping and a phased testing approach to generate early data, which will guide key development decisions for future missile and launcher subsystems. The initial phases will consist of tests conducting air launches, and the final phases will conduct tests utilizing underwater launches.
