The Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation (GAC) (Savannah, Georgia) partnered with the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center (DFRC) to execute the Quiet Spike(TradeMark) (QS) project. Following a survey of potential test platforms, the NASA F-15B (McDonnell Douglas Corporation, St. Louis, Missouri, now The Boeing Company, Chicago, Illinois) airplane, tail number 836, was selected as the target test vehicle primarily because of its unique ability to carry a large-scale test apparatus to relevant supersonic flight speeds. The airplane radome was removed and a long, composite boom (spike) with a stationary extension and two moveable extensions were attached to the radar bulkhead so that the boom could be extended and retracted in flight
