For the first time, Lockheed Martin opened its heavily guarded compound where it builds America's THAAD missile defense system.
President Donald Trump and Marillyn Hewson, CEO of Lockheed Martin, enter a Lockheed Martin with a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense anti-ballistic missile defense system during a Made in America products showcase on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Monday, July 15, 2019.
The missile's unnerving maneuverability comes from the DACS, or divert and attitude control system, which uses thrusters to precisely steer the kill vehicle to its target during the final moments of flight. The last component of the missile is the cone-shaped shroud, which holds the seeker, also described as the vehicles eyes.
"It's amazing what we do here and even more impressive to think that not very many people know what exactly we are building in this facility," Dewayne Henderson, a THAAD production supervisor, told CNBC.
