NewsSeptember 03, 2025
GRAND PRAIRIE, Tex. The U.S. Army awarded Lockheed Martin a contract worth $9.8 billion for the production of 1,970 Patriot Advanced Capability – 3 Missile Segment Enhancement (PAC-3 MSE) interceptors and associated hardware, marking the largest contract in the history of Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control history
PAC-3 MSE defends against incoming threats through direct-collision contact, delivering exponentially more kinetic energy on the target than can be achieved with blast-fragmentation mechanisms. The interceptor is used against ballistic missile, cruise missile, hypersonic, and airborne threats.
Lockheed Martin is continuing to ramp production of PAC-3 to meet increased demand and is slated to deliver more than 600 interceptors in 2025 for the first time.
