Carr et al present a year in review of solid rocket propulsion that continued to set milestones in the industry with support to future and current launch systems and missile defense applications. The US Navy launched an unarmed Trident 2 D5 fleet ballistic missile from the Atlantic Ocean in August. It was the 161st launch since 1989. Lockheed Martin built the missile as well as a test element of the Demonstration and Shakedown Operation 1, or DASO-27, to certify the submarine's crew and weapon system. Both Aerojet Rocketdyne of California and Virginia-based Orbital ATK are major propulsion suppliers for the Trident 2 D5 missile.
