Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This image shows the first dual launch of the Sprint missile from its launchers on Meck Island, part of the Kwajalein Atoll. This test was carried out as part of the ongoing Safeguard ABM project. The two missiles are being launched at a single target, with the missile on the right maneuvering to provide space between the two missiles to improve radar tracking. The forested island in the background is Kuwatep.
