Missile Defense Assets in Baltimore on Friday and Saturday

This Friday and Saturday two of our nation's premier missile defense assets are available for you to visit and get definitive background information from the operators.

The Ramage is at Pier 9 in Baltimore, and it has the Aegis system on board. A THAAD display will be located at McKeldin Square. Both missile defense systems are open on Friday and Saturday.

Missile defense is one of America's top priorities for national defense. It is also a topic of great interest to our allies. This is a great opportunity to see the hardware of these two programs.

A point of contact for both events is Christopher Taylor of the Missile Defense Agency, and he can be reached at 703 901-9476.

Riki Ellison is available for interviews on both systems, and he can be reached at 703 299-0061.
