WASHINGTON, 3 Aug. 2013. BAE Systems won an eight-year, $534 million contract from the U.S. Air Force to maintain the readiness of the nation’s intercontinental ballistic missiles.
The company will provide systems engineering, integration, testing, logistics, and other services to support the missile, ground, and launch systems for 450 deployed Minuteman III missiles.
“The Intercontinental Ballistic Missile program is a pillar in our national security, and our job is to guarantee it never fails,” explains Erin Moseley, president of BAE Systems’ Support Solutions sector.
The work, managed by the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center, will be performed primarily at three locations: Hill Air Force Base in Utah, Vandenberg Air Force Base in Calif., and in Shreveport, La., near Barksdale Air Force Base.
BAE Systems will be actively recruiting from the existing skilled workforce at each site.
