The Pentagon has awarded Boeing $80 million to begin planning and building two missile defence systems to be based in Poland and the Czech Republic, a spokesman for the US Missile Defense Agency said on Friday.
Rick Lehner said that under the contract, Boeing will deliver 10 interceptor missiles to a site in Poland and will move a large radar system from the US Marshall Islands to the Czech Republic. A smaller, mobile radar system will also be deployed.
The project will be worth around $3.5 billion and will come into effect once the US Congress approves a $310 million supplementary budget request for the European missile defence programme.
