I love to use your videos to reenforce my daughters love of math and science. we are working our way through your catalog. I have a nine year old that is facinated with all you do. Thank you so much.

The most elegant piece of design work is hardly noted: The water brake system! The rest is pretty straight forward just how anybody would do it. But the water brake system is pure genius!

I really like the release and pull down system for the carrier sled so the missile is in free flight when it hits the target.

Thats a new take on a discarding sabot, good to see some very practical well thought out instrumentation

Love these experimentations.

Amazing. Simply amazing. Put together a couple more videos like this and then release it for IMAX.

Can watch this all day. Thanks

Wow, your data is amazingly clean. Well done

MY MIND IS OFFICIALLY NOW BLOWN!

Fantastic test video...!! Thank you SNL..!!

Amazing to watch - thanks!

Watch out, SlowMo guys! The old-schooler is back!

These guys are just flexing how cool their job is

Walking down to work one day and a sled test went off. Got to see the rocket smoke and hear the roar. We were about three miles away at KUMSC. Got to see a lot of Sandia cool stuff on Kirtland AFB.

Most amazing thing about this is the music

Wow, that's some high-speed camera action right there!

260mph is pretty slow tbh in terms of high speed footage

awesome stuff!

This is awesome :)

The tail can pulled 466 +/- ? g on deceleration. Dave Purley, race car driver, survived a 214g crash (107 mph to 0 in 26 inches).

There is a crash site F-105 Thunderchief out in the hills by China lake. It is pretty much still there a few years ago less the Artificial Horizon. The impact point had the same impact feature as here with 1,000's of little shards. Most of it was easy to recognize. Story goes pilot got out safely.

Ya great photography work , and great music to ,

It's a lot of fun with endless opportunities to explore new ways to measure energetic phenomena.

lol in the last scene you can clearly see the wire that got cut hit just above the target =D That's pretty dang awesome, just the velocities involved there to have so little displacement over that much distance hehe

0:49 'high consequence tests' "Here at Sandia's VQS Experimental Complex we make bad things happen."

Remarkable.

Stunning.

Thank you this is amazing

Muito legal o trabalho envolvido, ganhou meu like.

What a cool job

great video. running a 1bit dynamic pressure measuring system to see with sound within ghz sampling rates and running motion amplification through an analogue landscape analysis would give more accuracy... when building 3d models...

Some alloys have been discovered under test involving impacts like this (as a by product).

What was the purpose of this test? To test the wall strength?

How badass would it be if your day job was to crash supersonic weapons into immovable barriers, while capturing the ensuing mayhem on super high-resolution, high speed cameras. That would freakin' rock!

Sandia National Lab is a very well-funded long-standing National Laboratory. This is from the Wiki page [ Sandia began in 1945 as Z Division, the ordnance design, testing, and assembly arm of Los Alamos National Laboratory. It became Sandia Laboratory in 1948 and, in 1949, Sandia Corporation was established as a Western Electric company to manage the laboratory. ]

Хорошая стенка.

Que increible !!!!

Impressive.

Will it blend? Thats the question!

What is the rocket crashing into? Stacked rebar?

F4 Phantom was a good one. watch that.

Very very cool

We are watching something spawned before WWII and we still barely know how to control it. Crazy.

Most interesting

Awesome

that Division music

I'm interested in a position driving a sled.

I'd like to work there.

I wonder if the wall will always win?

Translated the target block by several cm.
