**Official NAWS China Lake PVC Patch**
Where the Sidewinder was born and the Mojave tests everything the Fleet carries into battle. If you've walked the flightline at China Lake, you know this isn't just a base—it's where American airpower gets its edge.
Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, established in 1943, is the Navy's largest single landholding and the premier facility for weapons research, development, testing, and evaluation. From the legendary AIM-9 Sidewinder missile to the AGM-88 HARM and beyond, nearly every significant airborne weapon in the U.S. arsenal has been developed or tested in this high-desert proving ground spanning over a million acres of California's Mojave Desert.
