Overview

• Emergency budget documents sent to Congress outline more than $3.5 billion for restocking interceptors, refurbishing vessels, and transporting munitions.
• About $1 billion would replace RTX Standard Missile/SM-3 interceptors, including the SM-3 IB Threat Upgrade priced at roughly $9 million to $12 million each.
• $204 million is requested for additional Lockheed Martin THAAD missile interceptors.
• The request cites U.S. defensive actions during Iran’s April 2024 assault on Israel, which involved over 110 ballistic missiles, 30 cruise missiles, and 150 uncrewed aerial vehicles.
• The submission notes an unplanned THAAD deployment and is separate from $4.2 billion in prior transfers, drawing on a 2024 law that set aside $14 billion for replenishment.
