Lockheed Martin Receives $212 Million Contract for PAC-3 Missile Support

Lockheed Martin received a contract award recently totaling $212 million from the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command for Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) Maintenance & Surveillance services to U.S. and international PAC-3 customers from the Missile Support Center.

Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor on the PAC-3 Missile Segment of the Patriot air defense system. These Maintenance and Surveillance services will begin immediately at Lockheed Martin facilities in the United States.

The PAC-3 Missile is one of the world’s most advanced, capable and reliable theater air defense missiles. It defends against advanced tactical ballistic and cruise missiles, and fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft. As the most technologically advanced missile for the Patriot air defense system, PAC-3 significantly increases the Patriot system’s firepower, as 16 PAC-3s can be loaded in place of only four legacy Patriot PAC-2 missiles on the Patriot launcher.
