Boeing to triple PAC-3 MSE seeker production under $14.7 billion award from Lockheed Martin

Boeing has secured a $14.7 billion indefinite-delivery contract from Lockheed Martin to expand production of seekers for the PAC-3 MSE interceptor, enabling it to triple current output. The award supports a seven-year framework with the U.S. Department of War and includes investments in Huntsville, Alabama, to expand facilities and strengthen supplier networks.

Why it matters. The increase in seeker production addresses a critical bottleneck in missile manufacturing, supporting higher output of PAC-3 MSE interceptors for U.S. and allied forces amid growing emphasis on defense industrial base expansion.
