Joint effort underway to power rocket sleds into the future

A newly designed birdchaser is readied for initial checkout testing Dec. 8, 2021, at the Arnold Engineering Development Complex High Speed Test Track at Holloman Air Force Base, N.M. Used to mitigate bird and animal strikes during High-Speed Test Track test missions, birdchaser sleds are fired 10 to 40 seconds before the mission sleds. (U.S. Air Force photo by Deidre Moon)
