L-3 Coleman Aerospace Information

Coleman Aerospace is an innovative systems engineering and integration provider. Both a prime contractor and subcontractor, Coleman designs and produces sophisticated full-scale ballistic missiles as replicas of global missile defense threats. Coleman provides a variety of suborbital launch vehicles, payloads, and launch services. Since the award of the Theater Missile Defense (TMD) Targets contract in 1992, Coleman has conducted over 25 target missile missions. Several of Coleman's ground launch missions demonstrated new capabilities and/or launch sites. These include atmospheric reentry targets and radar experiments. Our success has fostered company growth and expansion into air-launched targets.
