“We are excited to add a class-A self-storage property in Phoenix, AZ,” said Jae Ho, Partner at BPG. “We were attracted to the property’s location, high quality construction, tenant amenities, and, especially, the activity of move-ins during leaseup.”

With this strategic acquisition, the joint venture establishes an initial presence in a rapidly developing area within Phoenix. The joint venture has three more selfstorage properties under contract in Phoenix, and the joint venture is diligently searching for additional acquisition opportunities to further expand its footprint in

Raytheon Missiles & Defense’s SM-3 IIA intercepts ICBM target, creating new option for missile defense

TUCSON, Arizona — As part of a historic Missile Defense Agency demonstration and for the first time ever, an intercontinental ballistic missile target was intercepted and destroyed outside Earth’s atmosphere by an advanced SM-3® Block IIA ballistic missile defense interceptor made by Raytheon Missiles & Defense, a Raytheon Technologies (NYSE:RTX) business. The interceptor was co-developed with Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

“This first-of-its-kind test shows that our nation has a viable option for a new layer of defense against long-range threats,” said Bryan Rosselli, vice president of Strategic Missile Defense at Raytheon Missiles & Defense.

The SM-3 family of ballistic missile defense interceptors has executed more exo-atmospheric intercepts than all other missiles combined and is the only weapon of its kind employed from both ships and land.

Raytheon Intelligence & Space sensors were also part of the historic test from low-earth orbit. The sensors detected and tracked the target and relayed the data to decision makers in a demonstration of space-based early warning.

Raytheon Technologies’ missile defense portfolio combines sensors, effectors, C2 and integration work to deliver the most advanced missile defense capabilities available to the U.S. and its allies today.
