US expands PAC-3 MSE missile production with plan to nearly triple propulsion output

L3Harris has reached a seven-year framework agreement with the Department of War and Lockheed Martin to expand PAC-3 MSE missile propulsion production.

The company plans to nearly triple output of key solid rocket motor and steering components once the contract is finalized.

The expanded manufacturing will boost U.S. and allied air defense supply chains for the Patriot interceptor.

The PAC-3 MSE is in high demand as a critical weapon against advanced airborne threats.
