According to the company, the PAC-3 MSE intercepted the target by using data from LTAMDS’s secondary sector. This milestone is seen as proof of the missile’s ability to integrate seamlessly with advanced air and missile defence technologies.
“PAC-3 continues to demonstrate advanced, reliable performance in increasingly complex operational environments,” said Brian Kubik, vice president of PAC-3 Programs at Lockheed Martin. “Delivering 360-degree engagement capability will enable soldiers to defend against threats from any direction, enhancing the U.S. Army’s IAMD capabilities.”
Lockheed Martin noted that demand for the PAC-3’s advanced capabilities is increasing following its role in real-world operations. The company is set to deliver a record high of more than 600 PAC-3 MSE missiles in 2025, equivalent to around €550 million based on current contract values, and is working with the U.S. Army to accelerate deliveries to international customers.
