A Guam-based consortium, Core Tech-HDCC-Kajima LLC, has been selected by the U.S. Department of Defense to build a $295 million command center for the island’s future air and missile defense network. The project, part of the Enhanced Integrated Air and Missile Defense System, is expected to be completed by March 2029.
The new facilities at Joint Region Marianas will include the command center, a power plant, switchgear infrastructure, fuel storage, and an entry control building. Core Tech, already experienced in defense-related construction on Guam, will oversee development.
Located in the Western Pacific, Guam hosts key U.S. military installations and over 170,000 American citizens. Its proximity to potential conflict zones makes it a prime target for China’s long-range missile capabilities. The defense system—featuring interceptors, radars, and distributed assets across 20 sites—aims to provide full-spectrum protection for the island and its critical infrastructure.
