Yuma

Yuma Proving Ground. Sounding rocket launch location.

AKA: Yuma Proving Ground. First Launch: 1958-08-19. Last Launch: 1967-06-13. Number: 53 . Location: Arizona. Longitude: -114.40 deg. Latitude: 32.86 deg.

Modern Army presence in the area dates back to World War II when the region hosted an Army Corps of Engineers testing facility for bridging equipment.

In 1952, the Yuma Test Station was activated under Sixth Army Command to conduct tests on military equipment in a desert environment. In 1962, the Army Materiel Command assumed control of the facility, and in 1963 the facility became known as the Yuma Proving Ground. In 1974, the facility was designated a Department of Defense Major Range and Test Facility. Today Yuma Proving Ground occupies 1,300 square miles within southwestern Arizona. Although not a major missile testing facility, Yuma's Kofa and Cibola test ranges have been used to evaluate the effectiveness of short-range tactical missiles such as Tow or Hellfire antitank missiles under desert conditions.
