Successful crash test meets major milestone for nuclear deterrence program
DOE/Sandia National LaboratoriesBusiness Announcement
A full-scale crash test involving a semitruck impacting the side of the first prototype of a new weapons transporter successfully took place at Sandia National Laboratories this summer. Using the labs' sled track, rockets propelled the semitractor-trailer at highway speeds into the prototype, an over-the-road Mobile Guardian Transporter. Data from the event will be used for qualification of the transporter and to better understand cargo response in accident scenarios for years to come.
