Products
Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense
Sea-based defense shield
Boeing manufactures critical hardware for multiple variants of the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense system’s sea-based interceptor — the Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) — ensuring precision in intercepting ballistic missile threats. SM-3 provides a maritime umbrella of protection against short- to medium-range ballistic missile threats during their midcourse phase of flight.
Directed Energy
Laser-focused battlefield defense
Boeing’s Laser & Electro-Optical Systems (LEOS) team develops scalable, efficient air-defense solutions to counter drones and other lower-tier threats in any environment. The company is committed to delivering ready, rapidly deployable high-energy laser systems for the evolving battlefield.
Ground-Based Midcourse Defense
America’s homeland defense shield
Boeing leads the integration, testing and readiness of the Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system, the United States’ only operationally deployed missile defense program capable of defending the entire U.S. homeland — including Alaska and Hawaii — against long-range ballistic missile attacks. GMD is designed to detect, intercept and destroy threats during their midcourse phase of flight.
Patriot Advanced Capability-3 Seeker
Intercept to protect
Boeing builds seekers that enable Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) interceptors to detect, track and defeat advanced threats — from hypersonic weapons and hostile aircraft to ballistic and cruise missiles. The Patriot air defense system is essential to the protection of service members, civilians and critical infrastructure worldwide against rapidly proliferating threats.
