BRAC Boon: China Lake Builds Facilities for Additional Naval Weapons Testing

Breaking Ground…

The US Naval Air Weapons Station at China Lake in California’s Mojave Desert is benefiting from a recommendation by the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission to consolidate naval weapons and armament research, development and testing at the facility.

The station, which is home to the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD), is already the center for Navy and Marine Corps airborne weapon system testing. Programs that have been developed at the facility include the Tomahawk cruise missile, the Joint Stand-Off Weapons System (JSOW), and the Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM).

The BRAC recommendations would expand that role even further. To accommodate this, the station has undertaken about $167 million in new construction.
