DoW Signs 7-Year Agreements with General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin to Expand Missile Defense Production
The U.S. Department of War has entered into two seven-year agreements with General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin to significantly increase production of PAC-3 MSE and THAAD missile components. These contracts aim to triple and quadruple production capacity for these systems, respectively, enhancing the U.S. missile defense capabilities.

The Department of War has established seven-year multiyear procurement contracts with General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems and Lockheed Martin to boost production of missile defense systems. The agreements are set to triple PAC-3 MSE interceptor capacity and quadruple THAAD interceptor production.
They also ensure minimum annual procurement quantities, providing a stable demand signal that allows contractors to invest in workforce expansion and facility upgrades. These measures are anticipated to lower unit costs through larger volume material purchases, potentially benefiting both companies financially and enhancing defense readiness.
