Description: As the Cold War heated up, the highly-instrumented Eglin Gulf Test Range was built and supported flight tests of the Bomarc, Matador, Quail, and Hound Dog cruise missiles. Both the military and NASA used Eglin to support launch of sounding rockets in support of their programs. The Vietnam War brought a new emphasis on conventional weapons, and Eglin specialized in development of air-to-ground weapons and the AMRAAM air-to-air missile.
