Acting DIA Director Christine Bordine hosted the ceremony, which was attended by Alabama Rep. Dale Strong and Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence Aaron Lukas, among others.<\/p>\n<p>The MACE MILCON project, the latest effort to enhance capabilities and infrastructure at MSIC\u2019s Advanced Analysis Complex at the Richard C. Shelby Center for Missile Intelligence, will provide DIA and its partners with increased simulation capability, dedicated analysis space, and a high-performance supercomputing center.<\/p>\n<p>The existing MSIC campus broke ground in 1998, and the expansion facility broke ground in 2023. The Phase II MILCON project follows two years of construction on the Phase I project, the Materiel Exploitation Center (MEC).<\/p>\n<p>MSIC provides warfighters, weapons developers and policymakers with scientific and technical intelligence assessments of foreign weapons systems. This new facility will deliver a world-class supercomputing modeling and simulation (M&amp;S) capability to defeat complex future threat systems, and it showcases DIA\u2019s commitment to reestablishing deterrence and rebuilding the military.<\/p>\n<p>Source: DIA<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay in the know with breaking news from across the IC and IC contracting landscape by\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/intelligencecommunitynews.com\/subscribe\"><em>becoming a paid subscriber to IC News<\/em><\/a><em>.
