美国陆军弹道导弹防御司令部的总部设在阿拉巴马州汉茨维尔的城郊,其大部分的系统技术试验是在夸贾林导弹靶场完成的。夸贾林靶场位于太平洋中一个环状珊瑚列岛上（以下简称列岛）。 陆军利用夸贾林靶场使先进的弹道导弹防御技术综合成系统,并为战略威慑进攻武器的研制提供必不可少的试验. 夸贾林靶场在收集大气层外信号特征数据、记录导弹再入现象、提供终段弹道数据和命中点数据、回收再入飞行器和传输各种飞行任务的近实时数据方面,无论对进攻武器系统或防御武器系统的试验成功都是至关重要的。 The headquarters of the U.S. Army Ballistic Missile Defense Command is located on the outskirts of Huntsville, Alabama. Most of its systems technology trials were conducted at the Kwajalein missile range. Kwajalein Range is located on a ring coral island in the Pacific (hereinafter referred to as the island). The Army made use of the Kwajalein firing range to integrate advanced ballistic missile defense technology into a system and provide the essential test for the development of a strategic deterrent weapon against attack. Kwajalein Targets collected data on the characteristics of extra-atmospheric signals, recorded the reentry of missiles, The success of successful offensive or defensive weapons systems in providing dead-end ballistic data and hits, retrieving reentry vehicles and transmitting near-real-time data for a variety of missions.
