Overview
- The new framework targets an increase in Terminal High Altitude Area Defense interceptor production from 96 to 400 units per year.
- Lockheed Martin broke ground on a munitions acceleration center in Camden, Arkansas, to support the planned expansion.
- The company says it will invest billions over the next three years to add capacity and modernize more than 20 facilities.
- Lockheed expects the first definitive production award after Congress provides funding later this year.
- This step follows a separate PAC-3 MSE acceleration framework and reflects elevated demand tied to recent Middle East deployments, including positioning in Israel.
