Kwajalein Range Services, LLC

Our comprehensive and integrated engineering, logistics, and infrastructure services enabled the U.S. Army to carry out ballistic missile testing, space surveillance, and satellite tracking. Some of our services included:

• Operating an international airport
• Providing fixed and rotary wing aircraft operations, heavy equipment operations and maintenance,
and fire and emergency services
• Managing facility and infrastructure projects
• Performing all local and long-haul communications systems, all information services (classified and unclassified), and information assurance functions

Kwajalein Atoll is the ideal location for testing with minimal safety and environmental constraints. RTS has the most sophisticated radar and optical sensors in the world, allowing the site to play a major role in research and development for defense and space programs.

We supported the most complex missile defense flight test ever, conducted at RTS: Flight Test Integrated-01 and Flight Test Operations-01. The U.S. Missile Defense Agency Directorate for Test awarded its highest honor, the Test and Assessment Team Award, to the flight Test Integrated-01 infrastructure development team. The test led to improving the capabilities of today’s war fighter and was vital to U.S. national defense.

Key Missions

Missile Testing
During a time of significant funding cuts, the Bechtel team managed the site successfully by facilitating a large number of ballistic missile tests, continued repairing infrastructure on Kwajalein, and completed engagement tests with multiple missiles simultaneously. Highly complex missions increased the island population by nearly 25 percent.

Radars at Roi-Namur
A suite of radars is located on Roi-Namur Island in the Kwajalein Atoll. The radars are a part of the U.S.’ most sophisticated research and development radar site that measures reentry. The Huntsville Mission Control Center in Huntsville, Alabama, controlled daily remote operations of the radars on Kwajalein Atoll.
