DUGWAY PROFILE

We provide quality testing today that will help keep our nation's defense strong for tomorrow.
Our test experts are qualified and eager to support your test needs, from initial planning and test conduct through test evaluation and reporting.
The Department of Defense has designated U.S. Army Dugway Proving Ground (D.P.G) as a major range and testing facility, and the primary chemical and biological defense testing center under the Reliance Program.
Testers here determine the reliability and survivability of all types of military equipment in a chemical or biological environment.
