Boeing awarded a $14.7 billion seven‑year contract by Lockheed Martin to triple PAC‑3 MSE seeker production
On October 5 2026 Boeing announced it received an undefinitized contract action from Lockheed Martin valued at approximately $14.7 billion. The seven‑year deal will triple Boeing’s output of PAC‑3 MSE seekers for the Patriot air‑defense system. Boeing has already invested more than $200 million in its Huntsville, Alabama facility, including a 35,000‑square‑foot expansion, and expects to create several hundred jobs.
Why it matters
The company says the contract will boost defense‑segment revenue as production ramps up. The expanded capacity supports the U.S. Department of Defense’s Acquisition Transformation Strategy and should increase demand for Boeing’s aerospace and defense services.
