Lockheed Martin
Lockheed Martin received a $6.07 billion contract from the U.S. Army to produce Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) interceptors and associated equipment, to be delivered across FY21, FY22, and FY23 contract years.
The contract calls for the production and delivery of PAC-3 MSE interceptors, launcher modification kits, associated equipment, and non-recurring efforts to support the United States and global customers.
The PAC-3 MSE defends against advanced tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and aircraft.
To meet customer demand and increase production capacity, Lockheed Martin is currently building an 85,000ft2 expansion at the Camden, Arkansas, facility where PAC-3 MSE interceptors are assembled. The building is expected to be complete by Q4 2021, with operations beginning in Q1 2022.
Ten nations – the United States, Qatar, Japan, Romania, Poland, the United Arab Emirates, Sweden, Korea, Bahrain, and Germany – have signed agreements to procure PAC-3 MSE interceptors.
