Team Capabilities

The Physical Science Laboratory (PSL) of New Mexico State University (NMSU) possesses excellent capabilities to provide engineering, technical, and programmatic support services and to mold, manage, and maintain the SEAPORT Enhanced Contract. PSL has been part of the test community at White Sands, along with the Navy, since 1946 and the testing of captured German V-2 rockets. We were also there at the start of the Desert Ship in 1953 when it was established to test surface-to-air missile defense systems and have provided continuous support to the U.S. Navy since then.
