12 Jun 13. Bechtel completes work on US MDA’s ground-based midcourse defence programme. Bechtel has concluded design and construction of missile silos and fields required for the US Missile Defense Agency’s (MDA) ground-based midcourse defence (GMD) programme. Carried out under contract with Boeing since 1997, work has included engineering and construction of three missile fields comprising 40 silos at Fort Greely in Alaska, as well as four operational silos and one test silo at Vandenberg Air Force Base (AFB) in California, US. Additional work performed by the company over the course of contract includes design and construction of missile test sites at Vandenberg AFB and Meck Island in the Marshall Islands, as well as the Ground-Based Interceptor Development and Integration Lab in Alabama, US. The company has also delivered required support services for the execution of several GMD programme’s successful flight tests, including the control test vehicle-01 test carried out at Vandenberg AFB in an effort to validate the overall performance of each part of the missile defence system in January this year. Bechtel government services business unit president Craig Albert said the GMD programme represented the complex project of national importance. The GMD uses radars and sensors, command-and-control facilities, communications terminals and a 2,000-mile fibre-optic communications network to safeguard the US from long-range ballistic missile threats, including intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) in space. Boeing serves as GMD prime contractor and leads an industry team comprising Northrop Grumman, Orbital Sciences and Raytheon amongst others. (Source: army-technology.com)
