The center, which includes a 40-square-mile field laboratory in the mountains adjacent to the university, has been used for explosives research and testing by NM Tech for government and private clients for more than 60 years.

It's not a weapon system, it a counter IED system. It never encountered any mines or IEDs and was not on point for 19 convoys in Afghanistan. Other then that the article is full of inaccuracies. |
