Maryland Aerial Firing Weapons Separation Testing Area

The Aerial Firing/Weapons Separation Testing Area is within the Atlantic Test Range – Inner Range and over the Chesapeake Bay in which the DoD evaluates discharge characteristics from weapons and other equipment off aircraft. Military testing areas include firing and bombing ranges where the DoD tests weapons systems and equipment, which include releasing ordnance and other projectiles from aircraft, watercraft, as well as from land-based artillery. These areas can be particularly hazardous for development as some weapons systems and ordnance being tested can contain live ammunition and explosives.
