ANAHEIM, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#DeepStrike—National
Technical Systems, Inc. (“NTS”), the leader in qualification
testing, inspection, and certification solutions in North America, is
pleased to announce the successful testing of the DeepStrike missile—a
long range precision strike missile. Developed by Raytheon Company for
the US Army, the missile is part of the Precision
Strike Missile program, which is intended to replace the Army
Tactical Missile System. “We’re honored to support Raytheon and the US
Army for delivering the most advanced weaponry in the world,” said Rich
Adams, CEO at NTS.
Tested at the National
Ordnance and Ballistic Test Center in Camden, Arkansas—one of NTS’s
28 test facilities in North America—the DeepStrike missile underwent
rigorous testing to meet the performance requirements of the US Army.
The multi-site facility in Camden is designed to test weapon systems,
ordnance, rocket motors, hazardous materials, and commercial products.
The facility’s expansive infrastructure—and NTS’s expertise in military
testing—has allowed for the creation of a streamlined MIL-STD testing
process, which made it easier to perform arena testing for the
DeepStrike missile.
As a next generation missile, the DeepStrike missile is expected to
increase firepower and expand range for the US Army’s precision guided
long-range missiles—all while reducing cost. “As a veteran, I am
particularly proud that our company is able to provide the most advanced
missile testing to support the US Army and top defense contractors,”
said Adams. To learn more about the DeepStrike program, click
