AFRL infrastructure projects boost readiness, security

The Air Force Research Laboratory’s, or AFRL, Munitions Directorate hosted a dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony for the lab’s newly constructed Advanced Munitions Technology Complex, or AMTC, at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, Dec. 15, 2022. This military construction project, worth approximately $165 million, provides new test capability and modernizes much of the outdated 1960s infrastructure. AFRL designed the AMTC as a modern, collaborative research space that gives scientists and engineers the ability to experiment with new explosive materials and integrate them into complex munition designs. This upgrade is one of many projects at AFRL sites across the U.S. aimed at modernizing infrastructure and strengthening science and technology capabilities for national defense.
