Tetra Tech has been supporting MDA as a prime contractor since 1998 with operations in the National Capital Region and Huntsville, Alabama. The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is an agency under the Department of Defense. Its mission is to develop, test and prepare for deployment missile defense systems designed to intercept and destroy ballistic missiles of all ranges - short, medium, intermediate and long-range, during any phase of their flight. Using a "layered" system of integrated interceptors, land- sea- air- and space-based sensors, and battle management command and control systems, the missile defense system will be able to engage all classes and ranges of ballistic missile threats.
