The Presidio Automated Testing Line has been developed though innovation into a quicker way to test missiles. This new, innovative process will change the missile testing business.

Instead of 17 test positions and 27 environmental conditioning systems, there is one automated instillation. There is no longer a need for multiple test sets.
