Boeing Wins $1.6B to Support ICBM Guidance Systems
The U.S. Air Force awarded Boeing $1.6 billion to support the nation’s intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) guidance subsystems.
The contract is worth up to $1.6 billion over 16 years, will be primarily performed in Ogden, Utah, and Heath, Ohio.
Boeing will maintain Minuteman ICBM guidance systems — which have logged more than 40 million hours of continuous operation — to ensure effective strategic deterrence into the late 2030s.
The LGM-30G Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM, is an element of the nation's strategic deterrent forces under the control of the Air Force Global Strike Command. The "L" in LGM is the Department of Defense designation for silo-launched; "G" means surface attack; "M" stands for guided missile, the 30 stands for the Minuteman series of missile and the G after “30” is the current Minuteman III.
