Northrop Grumman successfully tested the first stage of its Sentinel missile, the replacement for the aging Minuteman III ICBMs.
says that at its test site in Promontory, it has completed the first full-scale static test fire of the Sentinel stage-one solid rocket motor. The U.S. Air Force's LGM-35A Sentinel missile system, which used to be called the "Ground Based Strategic Deterrent" , is a vital modernization of the ground-based leg of the U.S. nuclear triad, which is an essential part of U.S. national security.
“This static fire highlights the advances we’ve made in digital engineering and gives us confidence in our ability to translate that into hardware build and test as we continue to progress on the path to flight testing,” explained Sarah Willoughby, vice president of Sentinel, Northrop Grumman.
