“Boeing has provided the reliable Minuteman ICBM to the U.S. Air Force for the deterrence mission since 1958. In August 2017, the Air Force awarded Boeing $349 million for the Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction work on the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent, which will replace the Minuteman III. We are focused on completing all TMRR milestones and preparing a GBSD solution that is capable, flexible and affordable.” stated Patricia Dare, The Boeing Company
Currently The Boeing Company is one of two companies competing for the Air Force Contract to modernize the missiles. Congress had appropriated a total of $90 Billion to this upgrade. The selected company will be the "Prime" for this effort and will be responsible for modernizing all three missile bases in the Nation. Upon awarding the contract communities will learn how the business plans to roll-out the modernization and be provided next steps.
