Boeing has supported the MDA as the prime contractor for the GMD programme since 2001.

Boeing and Northrop are competing for the contract against a Lockheed Martin-led GMD team that also includes Raytheon, ATK Aerospace Systems and Harris Corporation among others.

GMD uses radars, command-and-control facilities, communications terminals and a 20,000-mile fibre-optic communications network to defend the US against long-range ballistic missile threats.
