Book excerpt: This historical resource details the researching, developing, and engineering of the United States Army weapons and munitions facility programs located in New Jersey that has prepared American troops for over a century to meet their challenges. This fascinating monograph, filled with photographs, explores the history of the Picatinny Arsenal, first built in 1880 to house gunpowder. This gunpowder was sent to American military troops in the Spanish-American War, the Philippine Insurrection, and other major conflicts. In the 1920s and 1930s, the Arsenal influenced the development of artillery, tank rounds and other major weaponry. Picatinny was the main provider of ammunition for the U.S. military during WWII. The Arsenal continued to develop major weapons such as the bazooka rocket, the C-4 explosive, and the "Atomic Annie" artillery shell. Currently, there are more than 5,000 scientists, engineers and other staff at Picatinny Arsenal using advanced technology to create weapons, ammunition, and to design related products and storage components.

Book excerpt: When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Picatinny Arsenal was the only munitions plant in the nation capable of producing anything larger than small arms ammunition. Today, it is a sprawling reservation devoted to research and development of new weapons, both conventional and nuclear. With an introduction written by New Jersey Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen, this photographic history traces Picatinny Arsenal's role as the major ammunition research, development, and manufacture site from the Revolutionary War through Desert Storm. Picatinny Arsenal shows dramatic pictures of the Lake Denmark Naval Ammunition explosion in 1926, which leveled much of the arsenal, the rebuilding of the arsenal by the WPA, its role in the post-war era, and its museum. Taken mostly from Picatinny Arsenal's archives, over 200 images capture the lives of people, both military and civilian, who made Picatinny what it is today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It started as land purchased in 1880 to fill the Ordnance Department's need for a powder depot near the Atlantic Coast. Once an enterprise to produce and store something so explosively dangerous had gotten underway, a continuous inflow of expertise was needed to make that enterprise flourish. This begins to explain how the Dover Powder Depot grew from a modest operation to supply gunpowder into the nation's principle ammunition loading operation at the start of World War II. Today, Picatinny Arsenal is a brainpower hub where more than 5,000 scientists, engineers and support staff turn leading-edge technology into the weapons, ammunition, and related production and storage designs to make United States service members the best-armed fighters in the world. [This book] chronicles the development of this enduring national asset. The armaments developers who work at Picatinny Arsenal today are part of a legacy of providing state-of-the-art weapons designs that have directly influenced outcomes in numerous U.S. battles and campaigns."--Page 4 of cover.
