| 2025-09-06 |
| [Jerusalem Post] The $9.8 billion contract with the US Army will see Lockheed Martin produce nearly 2,000 Patriot Advanced Capability–3 Missile Segment Enhancement (PAC-3 MSE) interceptors. As demand for missile defense interceptors continues to rise around the globe, the US Army awarded Lockheed Martin a $9.8 billion contract for Patriot missiles, the largest in the company's history. It is the largest order ever of Patriot missiles, covering close to 2,000 missiles and related hardware. Lockheed is manufacturing the newest version of the interceptors that arm the Patriot, known as PAC-3 MSE, which costs about $4 million each, according to Army budget documents. The Navy also anticipates integrating the Lockheed Martin-made missiles with ships' air defenses. |
