Its deployment to South Korea to protect its border with North Korea has angered China, one of the North&#8217;s biggest trading partners. Its continued presence there is on shaky ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And THAAD was listed as one of the weapon systems Saudi Arabia would like to buy as part of U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s reported $110 billion arms deal with the Middle Eastern nation. The country wants seven batteries, which is the same number the U.S. Army plans to procure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lockheed experienced some recent difficulties building the interceptors for the THAAD system\u00a0\u2014\u00a0one related to a U.S. government-requested firmware upgrade to its mission computer and another stemming from an issue with a subcontractor manufacturing process\u00a0\u2014\u00a0that resulted in delays delivering interceptors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet Lockheed\u00a0recently\u00a0told Defense News those challenges are behind them and the company is now increasing production and deliveries of THAAD interceptors, with plans to complete the fiscal 2016 deliveries by August of this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Army\u2019s missile defense system capable of taking out targets in the last phase of flight intercepted a threat target in a test,
