Launch Complex 45 (LC-45) is a former launch complex on Cape Canaveral Space Force Station created to launch the Roland missile. It was located south of the then-extant LC-43, with a flat launch pad. An armored vehicle was to serve served both as a launch pad and a blockhouse, similar to regular operations of the system.[2] However, it was never used prior to its destruction, and Launch Complex 46 is now in its location.[1]
