Think it’s looking bad out there with global violence and instability? Well you’re wrong!

Under a seven-year agreement, defense contractor Lockheed Martin will increase its production of the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 Missile Segment Enhancement, or PAC-3 MSE, interceptor from about 600 to 2,000 annually to meet what the Defense Department called “long-term demand” from U.S. forces, allies and partner nations.

    The United States will more than triple its production of the combat-proven Patriot interceptor to defend against air and missile threats

    Damn! Given how capable this system is and it’s proven track record, it’s not surprising to see it’s in high demand. Glad to see we are stepping up to meet that demand.
