The graphic displays a sled-propelled warhead just before it penetrates the target, midway through the target and exiting the target. Eglin’s sled track is part of the 96th Test Wing’s Kinetic Energy Munitions Test Facility at the Eglin Test and Training Complex Test Area C-74. The KEMTF at ETTC has been in operation since 1956 and reached 1,000 sled test missions in September 1978. The unit surpasses 2,000 test shots this summer.
