DEVCOM Aviation & Missile Center is currently headquartered at the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. DEVCOM Aviation & Missile Center has over 1.9 million square feet of laboratory space that is devoted to improving sensors and electronics, propulsion system, aerodynamic structures, modeling and simulation, life cycle software development, and technical testing.Other laboratories are found at Joint Base Langley-Eustis and Hampton, Virginia as well as Moffett Field in California where Army and NASA aviation facilities, such as instrumented test ranges and wind tunnels, are used. Personnel devoted to aviation sustainment{{what|date=October 2020}} and engineering are located in Corpus Christi, Texas, and serve as liaison engineers around the globe.WEB, CCDC Aviation & Missile Center > About us > Locations & facilities,weblink 2020-10-05, www.avmc.army.mil,History

AvMC traces its origins back to October 1948 when the chief of ordnance designated Redstone Arsenal as the center for research and development in the field of rockets. A year later, the secretary of the Army approved the transfer of the Ordnance Research and Development Division sub-office (Rocket) at Fort Bliss, Texas, to Redstone Arsenal. Among those transferred were Dr. Wernher von Braun and his team of German scientists and technicians who had come to the United States after World War II. The Von Braun team is most noted for its pioneering efforts in helping the Army at Redstone lay the foundation for U.S. space exploration.With the transfer of the Von Braun team to NASA in 1960, research and development activities by the Army at Redstone turned to integrating space-age technology into weapons for the Soldier in the field.weblink access-date2020-10-05, websitewww.avmc.army.mil, ">Name changesWEB, titleCCDC Aviation & Missile Center > About us > History, urweblink access-date2020-10-05, websitewww.avmc.army.mil,
