An early Polaris A2 missile rests on the launch pad at the Cape during its testing and development phases. The Navy and its industry partners began researching and developing this submarine-launched solid propellant ballistic missile capability in 1956. The Secretary of Defense ordered a directive that established the Joint Army Navy Ballistic Missile Committee which was the managing committee for weapons and navigation systems test and development programs.
