Naval Museum Of Armament & Technology

Naval Museum Of Armament & Technology

China Lake, once a testing facility for military defense, now showcases U.S. Naval weapons alongside local and military history.

The museum's exhibits include AIM-54 Phoenix, the first operational radar-guided air-to-air missile that could be launched in multiple numbers against different targets from an aircraft, and the Laser Guided Bomb LGB-24B/B, the third generation of laser guided bombs.
