Hanwha Philly Shipyard contracted to build Missile Defense Agency’s new Missile Range Instrumentation Vessels (MRIV), managed by TOTE Services. Key Specs & Mission: • Length: 525ft • Task: Critical US missile tracking & range instrumentation • Replacing 2 legacy vessels operating for 50+ years

Hanwha Philly Shipyard has been contracted to build the Missile Defense Agency’s new Missile Range Instrumentation Vessels (MRIV), with TOTE Services serving as vessel construction manager.

The new 525-foot vessels will support critical U.S. missile range instrumentation missions and replace two vessels that have served the nation for more than five decades.

The MRIV design builds on the proven National Security Multi-Mission Vessel (NSMV) platform already in production at our shipyard, with substantial commonality. That means we can leverage an active production line, established supply chain, and, most importantly, the skilled workforce already building ships here in Philadelphia.
