Boeing and General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) are partnering to pursue the US Missile Defense Agency (MDA) contract for the Next Generation Interceptor (NGI).

Announcing the partnership in a 24 September statement, the two companies said that NGI was a key element of the MDA’s missile defence system, which is designed to counter all ranges of ballistic missiles.

‘An effective NGI solution requires a new way of thinking supported by a proven ability to deliver pioneering solutions,’ stated Scott Forney, president of GA-EMS.

Norm Tew, Boeing Missile and Weapon Systems vice president and general manager, said General Atomics’ long history in complex systems made them an ‘ideal teammate’ in developing their Next Generation Interceptor design.
