Production of the PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) is rising sharply following strong performance in real-world operations. Lockheed Martin stated it has delivered over 2,500 PAC-3 MSEs and is on track to produce more than 600 units in 2025, with plans to ramp up to 650 annually and grow further.
“We’re working closely with the U.S. Army to increase our production rate to meet the worldwide demand,” the company said. It is also exploring additional investments and capacity expansion to accelerate delivery for domestic and international customers.
GMLRS rocket production has exceeded 75,000 units delivered, with the programme now reaching a 14,000-unit annual capacity. Lockheed Martin described the effort as “a testament to our ability to scale and respond to evolving global security needs.”
HIMARS launcher output has doubled from 48 to 96 systems per year, a target achieved ahead of schedule. Supported by $2.8 billion in U.S. Army contracts, the company has expanded tooling and streamlined its supply chains to meet global requirements for long-range precision systems.
Production of the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) Increment 1 is also ramping up under a March 2025 Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity award. Lockheed Martin is scaling to a 400-unit annual capacity and focusing on increasing surge capabilities to accelerate fielding.
The Javelin missile programme is undergoing major upgrades, with annual capacity set to rise from 2,400 to 3,960 units by late 2026. “This expansion in production capacity is challenging our teams to innovate in order to meet the increasing worldwide demand for the Javelin weapon system,” the company stated.
Meanwhile, JASSM and LRASM are receiving increased support through a $3.2 billion Undefinitized Contract Action from the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy in 2024. A Facilitization Phase III contract was also awarded in August to further boost production capacity for both systems.
“Lockheed Martin is delivering at the speed of relevance—backed by the strength of American manufacturing and a resilient defense industrial base,” the company said. “We built the arsenal and we’re continuing to innovate for current and future warfare needs.”
