On Aug. 31, 2009 the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) awarded Team Corp. of Burlington, Wash. a $16 million contract for weapons dynamic test systems. These systems are associated with capabilities realigning as part of the BRAC 2005 Tech 18DR Recommendation to create a Naval Integrated Weapons and Armament Research, Development and Acquisition, Test and Evaluation Center at China Lake, Calif.

These test systems will provide NAWCWD with the capability to replicate the dynamic environment weapons are subjected to throughout their life cycle. The contract also includes system validation, testing and training. Work will be performed in Burlington and China Lake and is expected to be integrated into the new facility by Sept. 15, 2011.
