First Phase of SBX Trials Over

August 8, 2005 :: The Missile Defense Agency :: News

The Missile Defense Agency reports that the first phase of trials for the Sea-Based X-Band Radar (SBX) has been completed. The SBX-1 completed 12 days of at-sea testing and returned to Kiewit Offshore Services in Corpus Christi, Texas, on July 21, 2005. The press release notes that “Hurricane Emily’s arrival in the Gulf allowed the crew and shore support team to exercise weather avoidance plans and extended the mission by two days.” When tests are completed, the SBX will be moved to the Northern Pacific, and will be based out of Adak, Alaska. (Article)
