A new era of homeland defense
As the United States ushers in a new era of national defense, it will require the best of American industry to meet the moment.

Our mission is to leverage our collective strengths and ideas to rapidly develop and scale next-generation homeland defense solutions that improve the detection, identification, tracking and ability to intercept ballistic, cruise, hypersonic, and other advanced aerial and space-based threats.
Boeing is one of the U.S.’s longest-standing partners in the highest-priority missions of defending the country and ensuring peace through strength, and brings decades of experience and results to this whole-of-nation challenge, including:
- Integrating air, space and ground-based systems into advanced architectures.
- Deploying resilient space-based sensors and communications through integrated payload array technology.
- Building and supporting integrated air and missile defense systems that protect all 50 states, as well as service members, civilians and critical infrastructure around the globe.
- Producing the world’s most advanced airborne early warning and control systems for surface threat and missile detection.
- Delivering the cutting-edge F-15EX, which provides industry leading range, payload, speed and electronic warfare capabilities to enable air superiority and support homeland defense.
With active production lines and capacity to surge, Boeing is ready to answer the call once again by seamlessly integrating existing and modernized systems with innovative solutions alongside America’s best through strategic partnerships across the industrial base.
Modernizing and adapting proven systems and solutions
Boeing’s expertise in building and scaling production of advanced networked architectures spans integrated missile defense systems, multi-domain sensing capabilities and communications technologies, including:
- Serving as prime contractor and lead systems integrator for Ground-based Midcourse Defense, the homeland defense shield against long-range ballistic missile attacks.
- Producing components for the Aegis Standard Missile-3 for sea-based defense against short- to medium-range ballistic missiles.
- Manufacturing at record pace world-class seekers that enable Patriot interceptors to defeat threats from hypersonics and hostile aircraft to ballistic and cruise missiles.
- Developing directed energy and efficient kinetic air defense solutions against lower-tier threats.
- Advancing space sensing layers through Millenium Space Systems, including the Missile Track Custody and FOO Fighter programs for real-time data and situational awareness.
- Co-developing the Arrow-3 and Arrow-2 interceptors—the cornerstone of Israel’s long-range missile defense.
- Investing in technology, manufacturing capacity and talent to address the challenges of modern defense and stay at the forefront of national security space.
Developing and integrating future capabilities and technology
Boeing’s investments in leading-edge technology, tools and people are bringing decisive and disruptive capabilities and technology to bear, such as:
- Digital engineering and open system architectures to streamline the production system and accelerate solutions from development to large-scale production and sustainment.
- Data fusion, and AI processing partnerships to enhance networking and communications for efficient threat response from the skies.
- Penetrating, persistent and advanced sensing to revolutionize precision in detecting and tracking threats.
- Sophisticated modeling and simulation via Boeing’s Virtual Warfare Centers to support training and scenario planning for better real-world decision-making.
- The innovative Phantom Works division, focused on research, development, and prototyping to tackle the toughest challenges.
Building a safer future
Simply put, Boeing is uniquely positioned to help turn the vision of a dynamic next-generation defense capability for America into a reality.
