For the U.S. to meet its national defense needs, collaboration with American industry is crucial.
Why it matters: Boeing stands ready to help develop and scale a next-gen homeland defence shield to detect, identify, track and intercept new hypersonic, cruise, and ballistic missiles, and space-based threats.
Driving the news: A longtime partner to the U.S. in its highest-priority missions, Boeing brings decades of experience and results to:
Integrate air, space and ground-based systems into advanced architectures.
Produce some of the world’s most advanced airborne early warning and control systems for detecting threats.
Build and support air and missile defence systems that protect the United States as well as service members, civilians and critical infrastructure around the globe.
Deploy satellites that enable flexible, resilient communications.
Deliver the cutting-edge F-15EX, which provides industry-leading range, payload, speed and electronic warfare capabilities to enable air superiority and support homeland defence.
Adapting proven solutions: The team’s expertise in building and scaling production of advanced networked architectures spans integrated missile defence systems and multidomain sensing and communications technologies. Boeing:
Serves as prime contractor and lead systems integrator for Ground-based Midcourse Defence, the homeland defence shield against long-range ballistic missile attacks.
Co-develops the Arrow-3 and Arrow-2 interceptors — the cornerstone of Israel’s long-range missile defence.
Produces components for the Aegis Standard Missile-3 for sea-based defence against short- to medium-range ballistic missiles.
Manufactures — at record pace — world-class seekers that enable Patriot interceptors to defeat threats, from hypersonics and hostile aircraft, to ballistic and cruise missiles.
Develops directed energy and efficient kinetic air defence solutions against lower-tier threats.
Advances space-sensing layers (constellations of satellites) through Millenium Space Systems, including the Missile Track Custody and FOO Fighter programs for real-time data and situational awareness.
Invests in technology, manufacturing capacity and talent to address the challenges of modern defence and stay at the forefront of national security space.
Shaping future tech: Boeing’s investments in its team’s leading-edge technology and tools are driving decisive and disruptive capabilities such as:
Digital engineering and open system architectures — to streamline the production system and accelerate solutions from development through sustainment.
Long-range sensing, data fusion and AI processing partnerships — to enhance networking and communications for efficient threat response from the skies.
Advanced sensing — to revolutionize precision in detecting and tracking threats.
Sophisticated modeling and simulation — through Boeing’s Virtual Warfare Centers to support training and scenario planning for better real-world decision-making.
Innovation through its Phantom Works division, focused on research, development and prototyping to tackle the toughest challenges.
The bottom line: Boeing is uniquely positioned to help the U.S. make its vision of a dynamic next-gen homeland defense capability a reality.
