The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2018\/07\/26\/patriot-missile-breaks-its-own-distance-record-to-defeat-threat-target-in-test\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2018\/07\/26\/patriot-missile-breaks-its-own-distance-record-to-defeat-threat-target-in-test\/\">PAC-3 MSE, which uses hit-to-kill technology,<\/a> is designed to counter tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, hypersonic threats and aircraft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seventeen partner nations, including the U.S., field PAC-3 missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe muti-year buy enables \u201cthe Army to procure a larger quantity of missiles for more rapid delivery, thus filling our inventory faster,\u201d Maj. Gen. Frank Lozano, who leads the Army\u2019s Program Executive Office Missiles and Space, said in the service\u2019s statement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lockheed said it plans to deliver more than 600 interceptors in 2025, ramping up production nearly two years ahead of the award thanks to internal investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The contract \u201creflects disciplined acquisition and responsible stewardship of taxpayer resources,\u201d Joseph Giunta, the Army\u2019s senior contracting official at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, said in the statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lockheed Martin told Defense News earlier this summer it was working toward delivering 650 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2024\/05\/20\/pac-3-mse-launched-from-virtual-aegis-ship-hits-cruise-missile-target\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2024\/05\/20\/pac-3-mse-launched-from-virtual-aegis-ship-hits-cruise-missile-target\/\">PAC-3 MSE missiles<\/a> per year by 2027. It is currently producing roughly 550 each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company is also looking at how it might possibly ramp up to<a

title=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2025\/07\/17\/top-nato-commander-rushing-to-deliver-fresh-patriots-to-ukraine\/\"> 650 missiles a year earlier than planned<\/a>, Reynolds told Defense News in July at the Association of the U.S. Army\u2019s LandEuro conference in Wiesbaden, Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat we\u2019re endeavoring to do in partnership with the U.S. government, is to pull that left as much as we can,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company is also looking at \u201cthe efficiencies and streamlining and doing everything we can to stretch those dollars actually to take that to a higher capacity, upwards of around 750 per year by 2027,\u201d Reynolds said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The government has not yet officially released the number for a top production level, but \u201cif you take that trajectory and you project it forward into the future years, you will see as well north of 1,000 and then even much higher after that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The multiyear contract is the largest in the
