摘要

Pat Shanahan is new to missile defense, but he's no stranger to controversy. Before taking his current job in December, he was vice president and general manager of Boeing's Philadelphia-based Rotorcraft Systems division, where he was responsible for such programs as the Comanche reconnaissance helicopter and V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft. The furors over last year's Comanche cancellation and the spotty safety record of the V-22 pale in comparison to the politically charged missile defense debate, Shanahan says. But that doesn't bother him, he says. What does get under his skin are technical failures, such as the attempted tests of the Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system in December and February in which the interceptor failed to launch. Boeing is the prime contractor on the GMD, the U.S. territorial missile shield now in deployment. U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. Henry "Trey" Obering, director of the Missile Defense Agency (MDA), has tried to put the best face on those tests, saying they yielded valuable data despite the fact that things didn't go as planned. To Shanahan, a failure to launch the interceptor is a failure, period. Shanahan also is responsible for the Airborne Laser, a Boeing 747 aircraft outfitted with a laser to shoot down missiles in their boost phase. It is a challenging program by any measure, and that's what Shanahan, who holds a dual master's degree in mechanical engineering and management from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, likes about it.
