This document summarizes the design and installation of an air- breathing engine test facility at the Alliant Techsystems, Inc. (ATK) Rocket Center, WV plant located at NAVSEA's Allegany Ballistics Laboratory (ABL). The design process, requirements, and performance of the new facility are discussed. The purpose of the facility is to provide a state-of-the-art testing capability that addresses tactical air-breathing propulsion and materials testing needs. The facility project, a collaboration of the U.S. Navy and ATK, will enable testing that will address current and future U. S. interests in tactical integral-rocket/ramjet and next-generation propulsion.
