Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant, Dallas (NWIRP) was a government-owned, contractor-operated (GOCO) facility operating from 1941 to 2014 which had the mission of designing, fabricating, and testing prototype weapons and equipment, and is located in Dallas, Texas.[1] The NWIRP first began as an aerospace manufacturing complex constructed for the World War II mobilization program.[2] In 2012, the plant was sold to a private corporation for $357,500.[3] It was located for most of its time next to Naval Air Station Dallas, now known as the Grand Prairie Armed Forces Reserve Complex.
