Boeing and Pentagon agree to triple PAC-3 seeker production over seven years

Boeing and the Defense Department have reached a seven-year framework agreement to triple the production capacity of seekers for the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (PAC-3 MSE). This agreement aims to scale rapid delivery of increasingly sophisticated seekers, following a more than 30% increase in deliveries in 2025. Work on the seekers will commence immediately at Boeing's facility in Huntsville, Alabama, bolstering the defense industrial base to expand production and deliver critical capabilities at speed and scale. This deal aligns with Lockheed Martin's parallel effort to surge PAC-3 MSE all-up round production.
