Boeing has been awarded a multi-year contract valued at approximately $2.7 billion from the U.S. Army to produce additional Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) seekers. The company will deliver more than 3,000 seekers at rates of up to 750 units per year through 2030.
Boeing works with prime contractor Lockheed Martin to increase production rates for the PAC-3 interceptor. The Boeing-built PAC-3 seekers enable Patriot interceptors to identify, track and defeat advanced threats, such as hostile aircraft and ballistic and cruise missiles.
Since 2000, Boeing has delivered more than 6,000 PAC-3 seekers to the U.S. Army as a Lockheed Martin subcontractor from its Huntsville facilities. Seventeen countries, including the U.S., rely on PAC-3 interceptors to protect people and critical infrastructure around the globe.
“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.
In 2025, Boeing set a new monthly and 12-month rolling average production records and is targeting delivery of a 650 to 700 seekers by year’s end. Boeing recently completed a new 35,000-square-foot factory expansion and has modernized production lines and strengthened supplier partnerships.
“These multi-year awards recognize the progress we’ve made and will allow us to meet growing global demand for the PAC-3 seeker,” Bryan said.
