HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — Boeing has been awarded approximately $2.7 Billion dollars to produce additional Patriot Advanced Capability‑3 (PAC‑3) seekers.
(PAC‑3) seekers enable patriot interceptors to identify, track and defeat advanced threats, including hypersonic threats, hostile aircraft, and ballistic and cruise missiles
According to the agreement, Boeing will deliver more than 3,000 seekers at rates of up to 750 units per year through 2030.
Boeing officials are working closely with contractors and the U.S. Army to increase production rates and meet new targets for the interceptors.
Boeing says that these steps are necessary to ensure the Patriot system can continue to defend service members, civilians and critical infrastructure worldwide as threats proliferate.
“Our team has never been better positioned to answer the nation’s call for greater air and missile defense,” said Jim Bryan, executive director of Boeing Integrated Air & Missile Defense. “These multiyear awards recognize the progress we’ve made and will allow us to meet growing global demand for the PAC‑3 seeker.”
Demand for PAC‑3 interceptors has grown in response to recent conflicts and rapidly changing threat environments in Ukraine, the Middle East and the Indo‑Pacific.
In 2025, the company set new monthly and 12‑month rolling average production records and is targeting delivery of a record 650 to 700 seekers by the end of the year.
Since 2000, Boeing has delivered more than 6,000 sophisticated PAC‑3 seekers to the U.S. Army as a Lockheed Martin subcontractor from its Huntsville facilities.
Seventeen countries, including the US, rely on PAC‑3 interceptors to protect people and critical infrastructure around the world.
