'Superfuge' test combines multiple environments on a full-scale weapons system. Jul 23rd, 2021 Paul Rhien The Sandia National Laboratories Superfuge/Centrifuge Complex aims to provide the most realistic flight simulation environments possible. Randy Montoya/Sandia National Laboratories LIVERMORE, Calif. -- A team of Sandia National Laboratories engineers developed a new testing capability in support of its nuclear weapons mission. The team completed their first combined-environments test on a full-scale weapons system at the Sandia Superfuge/Centrifuge complex in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In a successful test, weapons engineers simulated three environments -- acceleration, vibration and spin -- simultaneously on an inert experimental test system built by Sandia and utilized in collaboration with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. In a laboratory setting, the test created the harsh environments that weapons systems experience from launch to reentry through the atmosphere.
