U.S. Army Awards Lockheed Martin $58.6 Billion In Largest-Ever PAC-3 Patriot Missile Contract
The U.S. Army awarded Lockheed Martin a contract worth up to $58.6 billion to produce PAC-3 Patriot Missile Segment Enhancement interceptors. The Financial Times and Reuters reported the agreement as the largest PAC-3 missile deal to date.
The procurement initiates production to replace interceptor stockpiles that estimates indicate have fallen to less than a third of pre-war levels. Replenishing inventories to previous baselines will take years, with major contract deliveries expected in the late 2020s.
