Hanwha Philly Shipyard and TOTE to Build Missile Range Instrumentation Vessels

TOTE Services and Hanwha Philly Shipyard have been selected to deliver the U.S. Missile Defense Agency's next-generation Missile Range Instrumentation Vessels (MRIV). The first vessel, to be named Golden Defender, is scheduled for delivery in 2030. The ships will replace the aging Pacific Tracker and Pacific Collector, which entered service in 1965 and 1970, respectively, supporting missile testing and tracking missions for the Missile Defense Agency.
