Boeing (NYSE: BA) has received an approximately $14.7 billion contract action from Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) to expand production and deliver PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement seekers.
The seven-year framework is designed to triple Boeing’s PAC-3 MSE seeker production. The seekers are used in advanced Patriot interceptors to identify, track and engage threats including aircraft, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and hypersonic weapons.
Boeing has already invested in expanding its PAC-3 seeker manufacturing capacity, modernizing facilities and strengthening its supplier network. The production ramp-up is also expected to create hundreds of direct and indirect jobs in the Huntsville, Alabama, area.
The contract supports a broader U.S. effort to accelerate production and delivery of key defense systems.
