Recent Activity
Continued DoD hypersonic and unmanned-systems test bookings through 2025; ongoing OSIDA-led commercial recruitment.
Investor Brief
Underused but uniquely capable: combination of one of the longest runways in North America and a surrounding warning area gives the site a niche edge for hypersonic and large-airframe flight test. State-funded, with no single-tenant risk like Midland.

Strategic Position
35.3392° N, 99.1939° W
Azimuth: Horizontal — runway-bounded; test trajectories cleared within W-386
35.3°N — irrelevant for horizontal ops; the value is the 13,500-ft runway and W-386 surrounding restricted airspace for high-energy test profiles.
Future Milestones
- 2026
Continued hypersonic flight test cadence under classified DoD programs
