Going Green? How the U.S. Military is Building Recycled Missiles
They are more zombies, than renewable.
Here s What You Need to Remember: The Army reportedly saves roughly 50 percent of what it could cost to replace targets over buying new ones and it saves time, too. The old boosters make a more affordable but also far more effective target that can be used in weapon testing.
There have been calls for increased efforts to “recycle” over the years, but this hasn’t always been possible when it comes to military hardware. However, the U.S. Army is now recycling and reutilizing demilitarized rocket motors and even repurposing the materials to make test missiles.
