Boeing was awarded a $128.5 million modification to its Ground-based Midcourse Defense development and sustainment contract Thursday, according to the Pentagon. The deal modifies a contract awarded in 2018 for upgrades to the GMD, which is the United States' ballistic missile defense system. The modification increases the total value of the contract from $11.2 billion to $11.3 billion and covers work performed through September 2022. The contract was last modified in December.
