The Propulsion Research Center (PRC) at The University of Alabama in Huntsville recently received a Lance missile display, generously donated by Troy 7, Inc. Originally developed in the 1960s, the Lance missile was a key Cold War-era weapon, known for its remarkable speed and reliability. After the Lance was decommissioned it was repurposed into a short range ballistic missile target and launched for numerous missile defense test programs. John Troy is serving as a SME and guest lecturer on the Lance at UAH this semester. This display will serve as a valuable educational tool for UAH students, offering hands-on learning in rocket propulsion and missile engineering. John and Lynn Troy, dedicated UAH alumni and founders of Troy7, are thrilled to see the Lance take its place at their alma mater. We are fortunate to have John & Lynn championing the importance of education and the preservation of history within our community.
