Building Shelter for our Hunters

Attack Capabilities Worldwide from Nevada

Creech Air Force Base is home to the 432d Wing/432d Air Expeditionary Wing “Hunters” consisting of combat-ready Airmen who fly MQ-1B Predator and MQ-9 Reaper Remotely Piloted Aircraft supporting the United States and Coalition war fighters. These remotely piloted or drone aircraft provide real-time reconnaissance, surveillance, and precision attacks against fixed and time-critical targets. The 432nd Maintenance Group ensures that Airmen, aircraft, ground control stations, Predator Primary Satellite Links, and a global integrated communication networks are fully mission capable to support aircrew training, combat operations, operational test and evaluation, and natural disaster support.

Project Details

In support of this critical military mission, we constructed a maintenance complex consisting of a 30,000 SF high-bay hangar, a 24,000 SF General Purpose Maintenance Facility, a 14,000 SF Ground Control Station, and all associated infrastructure, including airfield paving and utility alignments across the active airfield. The hangar houses four fully assembled aircraft and includes a high expansion foam fire suppression system. The maintenance facility contains a variety of supporting workshops and additional administrative offices. The Ground Control Station has extensive security measures and houses all mission planning activities and six drone cockpits, where ground crews pilot the unmanned aircraft on missions worldwide.
