Gulf Test and Training Range

The Gulf Test and Training Range (GUTTR) is a designated military area in the Gulf of Mexico used by the U.S. Navy for practicing and testing various military operations. It provides a safe space where ships, aircraft, and submarines can simulate combat scenarios, conduct training exercises, and test new equipment without affecting civilian activities. The range includes open waters and controlled zones equipped with radar and communication systems to monitor exercises, ensuring safety and effective training for military personnel. This enhances readiness and capability for real-world missions while minimizing risks.
