Boeing Wins $2.7 Billion Multiyear Deal to Build 3,000+ PAC-3 Seekers by 2030

The multiyear award anchors a capacity ramp to meet rising air-defense demand through 2030.

Overview

  • Boeing secured approximately $2.7 billion in contracts to deliver more than 3,000 PAC-3 seekers at rates of up to 750 units per year through 2030.
  • The company said it is working with prime contractor Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Army to further raise production rates and meet new targets for the PAC-3 interceptor.
  • Boeing reported new production records in 2025 and is targeting 650 to 700 seeker deliveries this year following a 35,000-square-foot factory expansion in Huntsville, Alabama.
  • PAC-3 seekers guide Patriot interceptors to detect, track and defeat advanced threats including hypersonic systems, ballistic and cruise missiles, and hostile aircraft, with demand rising due to recent conflicts.
  • Reuters noted the Army awarded Lockheed Martin a $9.8 billion PAC-3 missile contract last month, underscoring broader supply commitments across the Patriot industrial base.
