n the desert floor east of Salt Wells
lies a scattering of gray concrete
bunkers and steel-roofed buildings.
With a little imagination, one can picture this
place more than halfa century ago: grim-faced
Marine guards scanning the desert horizon
while scores of Atomic Energy Commission
employees worked furiously round the clock
to support the super-secret Manhattan Project.
Today the complex of bwldings is still
making a contribution to American military
preparedness. Here members of the Airfram~.
Ordnance and Propulsion Division oversee the.
~g, casting and scale-up of new propel-
lants and explosives, many ofwhich will even-
tually be used in Navy rocket motors and war-
heads. And, as in 1945, teamwork js still the
keyto success. -
Recently, ~tatiyes from five com-
mercial vendors gathered at this site for two
days. On the first day they watched as
oronance Systems Division chemists and
technicians lined the interiors offour gleaming
titanium warheadS W1th a coating of a special
~lyalphaoleophin). The next day the
guests observed the China Lakers as they
mixed a 700-pound batch of PBXC-129 (a
C
hina Lake-developed explosive) and vacu-
um/pressure cast the still-wet explosive into
the warheads for curing.
I hfOugJlout the lining, mixing and casting
proceedings, the company representatives lis-
tened carefully, questioned frequently and
took copious notes. Their intense interest was
not surprising. Soon one ofthe companies may
be doing the same job under contract to the
Navy.
The warheads are for the Standoff Land
Attack Missile SLAM) Ex anded Response
, a hardware-and-software upgrade o the
Harpoon-derivative SLAM. Between 1997
and 2004, about 700 SLAM ERs will be pro-
duced by McDonnell Douglas The contrac.t-
ing process for low-rate initial production
(LRIP) of64 units begins in April, and it is the
