Key points

BMDO (predecessor of today's MDA) ordered ballistic missile defense from Boeing
Value ~$18.8B ($18,762,686,627; multi-year cumulative), definitive contract, Dec 2000–Dec 2015
Boeing is the lead contractor for homeland "Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD)"
GMD = interceptors based in Alaska and California, the backbone of homeland missile defense

The Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) is the body that oversaw U.S. missile defense and was later reorganized into the Missile Defense Agency (MDA).

Boeing is known as the lead contractor for "Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD)" — which intercepts long-range (intercontinental) ballistic missiles aimed at the U.S. homeland during their midcourse phase in space. GMD consists of interceptor missiles based in Alaska and California and forms the backbone of U.S. homeland missile defense. This award is part of that long-running development and sustainment lineage.

Missile defense is a major investment area alongside ships and aircraft, and one where long, large contracts tend to concentrate among a few prime contractors. This award illustrates that structure.

Why it matters

A read on the scale of missile defense — a major investment area alongside ships and aircraft — and its concentration among prime contractors. Useful for defense/space supply chains and readers tracking security and deterrence trends.
