Boeing has entered a new partnership to pursue the US Missile Defense Agency (MDA) contract for the Next Generation Interceptor (NGI).
The partnership includes Boeing, General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) and Aerojet Rocketdyne.
Northrop Grumman will deliver necessary components if the partnership wins the contract.
MDA is seeking bids for the development of NGI that will serve as a key component of its missile defence system, which is designed to destroy incoming ballistic missiles.
The contract is expected to be awarded later this year.
Boeing Missile and Weapon Systems vice-president and general manager Norm Tew said: “The Boeing-led team will deliver critical technology to enhance our homeland missile defence.
“Combined, we bring decades of expertise in proven missile and weapon systems.”
GA-EMS president Scott Forney said: “An effective NGI solution requires a new way of thinking supported by a proven ability to deliver pioneering solutions.
“We are excited to partner with Boeing to deliver the disruptive technologies needed to help MDA rapidly deploy an interceptor system that bolsters the nation’s missile defence network and ensures that the US, our allies, and partner nations maintain military overmatch against ever-evolving threats from adversaries.”
