Lockheed receives PAC-3 order
Lockheed Martin has been awarded a contract to produce and deliver Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) missiles and PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) missiles for the US military and its allies.
The $1.5 billion contract includes deliveries of the PAC-3 and PAC-3 MSE interceptors for the US Army, and PAC-3 interceptors and associated equipment for select countries including the UAE, Taiwan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and South Korea.
The PAC-3 high velocity interceptor can defend against threats such as cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and aircraft with hit-to-kill technology. The PAC-3 MSE missile uses a two-pulse solid rocket motor.
Scott Arnold, vice president of PAC-3 programs, Lockheed Martin, said: 'The PAC-3 and the PAC-3 MSE interceptors are the most advanced, capable and reliable terminal air defence missiles in the world. As threats grow in complexity, these interceptors will continue to be in high demand to protect soldiers and citizens around the globe.'
