BAE Systems: Missile Canisters For The U.S. Navy, Produced In Aberdeen ABERDEEN, S.D. – In Aberdeen, S.D., manufacturing maintains a steady pulse within the local economy. There's MFG, a producer of wind turbines; 3M, a manufacturer of allergen defense filters, and Hub City, Inc., who just celebrated 125 years of business, that produces...well, they produce the parts needed in equipment throughout many different industries. But quietly on the other side of a chain-link fence sits a nondescript manufacturer not many know about. Whether you live in Aberdeen, the surrounding area or just about anywhere else in South Dakota, it's almost a sure bet this next one you may have never even heard of: BAE Systems. BAE Systems is an international defense, security and aerospace company that has had a facility in the Aberdeen community since 1985. The BAE Systems site in Aberdeen, believe it or not, produces missile canisters for the United States Navy. You read that right—missile canisters, for the U.S. Navy, right here in Aberdeen, S.D. So how have they flown so far under the radar for this long? Sarah Mann, plant manager, says it's simple: "BAE Systems isn't a widely publicized company because our customers aren't your average customers," Mann laughed. "What we're producing isn't sold in a store, it's not a piece of equipment that can be replaced—we simply do not have a conventional customer-base, and I think that's why people don't really know about us.” In 1985, the plant was established in Aberdeen and was meant mostly for experimental purposes. By Desert Storm, the plant was in full operation, supplying U.S. Navy cruisers, along with U.S. allies, with missile canisters. "It's state-of-the-art, one-of-a-kind manufacturing," Mann said. "During 'down-time' we find ways to train and educate our staff on better, more efficient production. Manufacturing, as an industry, continues to evolve, with the use of a lot of robotand team support, there's really no limit." ics and automation.
