MESA—Missile Engagement Simulation Arena

Overview. MESA is a DOD-recognized national asset and is the only facility of its kind in the world. It provides cost effective, timely and accurate dynamic missile engagement test data. Missile fuzes are tested against various targets, including full-scale fighter aircraft, in a secure, controlled laboratory environment, with all weather, round-the-clock operational capabilities. The unique indoor environment lends itself to a wide variety of other types of testing as well.
