Lockheed Martin Accepts Initial PAC-3 MSE Components From GM Defense

On Sept. 17, 2026, Lockheed Martin announced that it received the first PAC-3 MSE interceptor components produced by GM Defense.

The delivery occurred less than a month after the two companies formalized their contract. This rapid turnaround addresses a manufacturing bottleneck, enabling faster overall production of the PAC-3 MSE.
