BAE Systems Expands ICBM Engineering Support with Major Air Force Contract and Utah Office

BAE Systems, a global defense and aerospace leader, has secured a $1.2 billion contract modification from the U.S. Air Force to continue providing critical engineering services for Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) weapon systems at Hill Air Force Base, extending work through July 2027.

The contract modification increases the total ceiling value of the ICBM systems engineering, integration, and sustainment services contract — originally awarded under FA8214-13-C-0001 — to more than $3.1 billion, reinforcing BAE’s long-standing role supporting the nation’s strategic deterrent mission. Work under this award spans systems engineering, integration, program management, and related technical services for ICBM programs administered by the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center at Hill AFB.

New Local Presence at 888 University Park Blvd, Clearfield UT

To support this expanding mission and workforce in Northern Utah, BAE Systems has leased 40,000 square feet of office space at 888 University Park Blvd, Clearfield, UT. This facility will serve as a regional engineering and support hub for the company’s growing operations related to the contract work. The move is expected to bring approximately 250 new high-skilled jobs to the area, bolstering the local economy and reinforcing Utah’s role as a strategic location for defense sector activity.

The Clearfield office sits in close proximity to Hill Air Force Base and is part of a commercial property with strong amenities and connectivity to regional transportation infrastructure.

What This Means for the Region

BAE’s expanded contract work and office presence align with broader federal investments in U.S. nuclear deterrence infrastructure and modernization programs. The continued performance of ICBM engineering services at Hill AFB underscores the strategic importance of the base and its surrounding communities as critical nodes in national defense supply chains.

This development not only enhances BAE’s operational footprint in the Mountain West but also supports workforce growth and advanced engineering capacity in the region.
