Aegis Ashore Missile Defense Complex Romania

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District is managing the construction of a $134 million Aegis Ashore Missile Defense Complex in Deveselu, Romania. In preparation for construction of this key facility, site activation work totaling $3.3 million has taken place to ready the 269-acre site at Deveselu Air Base for the project. A Romanian contractor, SC Glacial PROD SRL, constructed temporary facilities including offices, containerized housing, a warehouse and vehicle inspection area in support of the U.S. Ballistic Missile Defense complex project. Key partners representing the U.S., Romania and NATO will officially break ground on the Aegis Ashore Missile Defense project Oct. 28. The Aegis Ashore site in Romania is scheduled to be operational in the 2015 time frame.

BUCHAREST, Romania: The U.S. Ambassador to Romania, Mr. Hans Klemm and Romanian Foreign Minister, Lazar Comanescu announced the major military components of the Aegis Ashore Missile Defense System in Romania have been transferred to the operational commander, Commander, U.S. 6th Fleet, in a ceremony held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Dec. 18, 2015.

The Aegis Ashore Missile Defense System (AAMDS) in Deveselu, Romania, is a key element in Phase II of the European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA).

Quotes:
“I’m happy to report that this ceremony today marks that all major military construction on the base, that is everything necessary for operating the system, is complete and functioning, and that the project came in under-budget, thanks in no small part to the excellent cooperation we received from the Government of Romania. We now move on to the next phase of operational testing and evaluation, in preparation for its Initial Operating Capacity declaration as well as the NATO integration process.”
U.S. Ambassador to Romania Hans Klemm

“Vice Adm. Syring [Director, Missile Defense Agency] and I conducted a thorough walk through of the Aegis Ashore site in Deveselu yesterday. I am impressed by all of the progress the U.S. and Romanian team has made since my last visit in February. Now that CNE-CNA/ U.S. 6th Fleet has ownership of Aegis Ashore-Romania, we will begin integration into the existing NATO BMD architecture”
Vice Adm. James Foggo, Commander, U.S. 6th Fleet

Quick Facts:
EPAA is the U.S. national contribution to NATO Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) and was implemented in phases in order to be adaptable and flexible and be able to include evolving BMD technology to counter the growing BMD threat.

  • The purpose of the EPAA is to protect European NATO allies, and U.S. deployed forces in the region, against current and emerging ballistic threats from the Middle East.
  • Phase One (completed in FY11) involved the deployment of current and proven missile defense systems, including one deployed BMD capable ship, the SM-3 Block IA interceptor, and a forward-based Army Navy/Transportable Radar Surveillance system (AN/TPY-2) in Turkey.
  • U.S. 6th Fleet will test and evaluate the AAMDS-Romania in preparation for future integration into the NATO Ballistic Missile Defense Architecture.
  • NATO BMD architecture includes Army Navy/Transportable Radar Surveillance System (AN/TPY-2); a command and control network operated from Ramstein Air Base, Germany; and the ballistic missile defense capable DDGs, forward deployed to Rota, Spain.
  • U.S. and Romanian officials broke ground Oct. 28, 2013 for the AEGIS Ashore missile defense site at Deveselu Air Base, Romania.
  • U.S. 6th Fleet, headquartered in Naples, Italy, conducts that full spectrum of joint and naval operations, often in concert with allied, joint, and interagency partners, in order to advance U.S. national interests and security and stability in Europe and Africa.
