13 August 2020: Boeing recently submitted a proposal for the Next Generation Interceptor (NGI) competition to the US Missile Defence Agency. This proposal has a design that leverages the company’s more than 60-year track record and expertise in strategic missile and weapon systems. If selected, Boeing will utilize its proven capabilities along with a best-of-industry team to ensure its unique offering is delivered to the war fighter on time.
“Boeing’s NGI proposal delivers unmatched performance, affordability and reliability for the nation and the war fighter,” said Norm Tew, Missile and Weapon Systems vice president and general manager, and Huntsville site senior executive. “Building upon our prior investments and proven technologies, our innovative proposal offers a creative, compelling and game-changing technical approach to outpace, out-innovate, deter and defeat rapidly evolving advanced threats.”
“Boeing is well-positioned to deliver innovative solutions that greatly expand this key missile defence capability, ever focused on supporting the war fighter,” said Tew. “We are leveraging our unparalleled mission knowledge to design, develop and deliver a low-risk, highly-effective solution for the MDA.”
The NGI will be used to maintain ready deterrence and ensure the continued protection of the US homeland from intercontinental ballistic missiles. A contract award is expected later this year.
