Jon Hill, the U.S. Missile Defense Agency\u2019s director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Hill said he will soon know a path forward that could potentially make up for lost time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Aegis Ashore site in Poland was originally expected to be in operation by August 2018, but Defense News reported at the time that a delay would push that date to calendar year 2020 due to problems with the contractor hired in Poland to build the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The schedule slipped further due to poor weather and problems with ramping up manpower and other resources to get the job done, then-MDA Director Gen. Samuel Greaves said at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/home\/2016\/07\/25\/poland-eyes-expanded-missile-defense-amid-fear-of-russia\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"197\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/636050612287001998-patripolesjpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Poland Eyes Expanded Missile Defense Amid Fear of Russia<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Poland\u2019s Ministry of Defense has highlighted bolstering missile defense as one of the priorities of its ongoing military modernization in the years 2017 to 2022.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fiscal 2021 budget request released Feb. 10 revealed the agency would need an extra $96 million in funding to maintain the Aegis Ashore weapon system, which is already on site in protective, temperature-controlled containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hill told reporters during a briefing Feb. 10 that the current constructor has had problems in \u201cthat last tactical mile\u201d and the project has been sitting nearly complete, but not quite there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat is not complete is what we really need, which is auxiliary controls, heating, power and cooling, the things that feed a combat system,\u201d Hill said, \u201cso that is where that design and engineering that is inside the construction contract has [slowed] down and where the contractor is having problems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MDA did an independent assessment in December, Hill said, sending a team to Poland to look at the problems, and the agency engaged with qualified contractors to garner the reality of the situation on the ground. The Army Corps of Engineers holds a fixed-price contract with the contractors in Poland, so the MDA is working with them to go over contract options, Hill added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat is what we are doing now,\u201d he said, noting that by the end of the month the agency and the Corps of Engineers will have figured out a plan to proceed, \u201cwhich will involve, I believe, some contract modifications to the construction side to get us on track so that we can accelerate beyond quicker than the \u201922 [date] that we\u2019ve estimated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hill noted that the schedule is currently a \u201cvery conservative estimate\u201d and is \u201cthe worst-case\u201d scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Poland\u2019s Aegis Ashore site is part of the European Phased Adaptive Approach to regional missile defense against threats from Iran and includes Aegis radar-capable ships based out of Rota, Spain, an AN\/TPY-2 radar in Turkey, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2016\/05\/12\/us-missile-shield-begins-operations-in-romania-to-russian-anger\/\" target=_blank>another Aegis Ashore site in Romania<\/a> that are both operational.
