“THAAD is a highly effective system for mitigating high-speed
missile threats and we’re making it more capable,” said Greg
Procopio, director of Precision Guidance and Sensing Solutions at
BAE Systems. “We’re anticipating the capabilities of tomorrow’s
ballistic missiles and designing adaptable electronic systems to
counter those threats.”
Guided by BAE Systems’ infrared technology, THAAD interceptors
engage ballistic missiles and destroy warheads with kinetic force
in or out of the atmosphere. The seeker design is informed by BAE
Systems’ expertise in precision munitions, electronic warfare
systems, and small form factor electronics, as well as its
extensive knowledge of the threat environment.
BAE Systems’ work on the THAAD seeker takes place at the
company’s Electronic Systems facilities in Endicott, New York;
Huntsville, Alabama; and Nashua, New Hampshire.
