United States Department of War announced on Monday that it signed framework agreements with Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin to ramp up the production of key missile-interceptor components, aiming to triple Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) and quadruple Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) manufacturing.
"This effort to stabilize supply chains for our most important interceptors advances President [Donald] Trump's and Secretary [Pete] Hegseth's joint vision to build the Arsenal of Freedom, accelerate delivery of critical capabilities, and reinforce the Nation's integrated air and missile defense," the statement detailed. No figure has been disclosed.
'The move comes amid repeated rumors that Washington needs to up its defenses following Iranian strikes in the Middle East, as well as Trump's recent remarks that he would keep the production of Patriots within the US, as it would be dangerous to allow other countries to make the defense system.'
