GROUND LAUNCHED CRUISE MISSLE HISTORICAL FOUNDATION
TUCSON, AZ
The Ground Launched Cruise Missile Historical Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the history and legacy of the Ground Launched Cruise Missile (GLCM), a Cold War-era weapon system developed by the United States military in the 1980s. The foundation is located in Tucson, Arizona, and serves as a museum and educational center for the public.
The GLCM was a long-range missile that was launched from mobile ground-based platforms and could carry a nuclear warhead. It was designed to provide a strategic deterrent against Soviet aggression in Europe, particularly in the event of a conventional war. The missile was eventually banned under the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty in 1987 and subsequently destroyed.
The GLCM Historical Foundation was founded in 1998 by a group of former military personnel and engineers who worked on the missile program. The museum features exhibits, displays, and artifacts related to the GLCM program, including a fully restored missile launcher and a replica missile.
The foundation also offers educational programs and events for students, veterans, and other interested groups. Its mission is to promote public awareness and understanding of the GLCM program and its role in Cold War history. Visitors to the museum can learn about the development, deployment, and eventual demise of the GLCM, as well as its impact on global politics and military strategy.
