Lockheed Martin Gets GM Defense-Made PAC-3 MSE Components Under One Month From Order

General Motors’ defense arm delivered its first critical PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement components to Lockheed Martin only 22 days after receiving the production order. The rapid handoff of missile-housing parts demonstrates how automotive manufacturing capacity can be adapted to relieve bottlenecks in a heavily demanded air-and-missile-defense supply chain. Expanding the supplier base should help Lockheed raise interceptor output, improve resilience against single-source disruptions and replenish U.S. and allied inventories consumed by deployments, training and support to partners facing ballistic and cruise missile threats.
