WASHINGTON — Construction issues that have plagued the Polish Aegis Ashore missile defense site remain unresolved, but the U.S. Missile Defense Agency continues to work toward a resolution, according to the MDA director.
Earlier this year, Gen. Samuel Greaves testified during several congressional hearings that the Aegis Ashore site in Poland would not reach its initial operational capability in 2018, but instead was delayed until calendar year 2020.
He attributed the delay to the contractor in Poland hired to build the site, but also pointed at poor weather on location. Manpower and other resources were also slow to ramp up, according to Greaves.
