PAC-3 Edge, un nou tip de rachetă anti-rachete hipersonice dezvoltată de Lockheed Martin. Ce știe să facă? • Newsweek România

Lockheed Martin has developed the PAC-3 Edge, a new hypersonic missile interceptor aimed at enhancing U.S. air and missile defense capabilities. This advanced system builds on the existing PAC-3 interceptor, integrating improved target detection, tracking systems, and a multi-pulse rocket motor. These enhancements enable it to counter complex threats, including hypersonic missiles, at greater distances and altitudes. The production cost is expected to be similar to the current PAC-3 MSE model, with an annual output target of around 2,000 units. This development comes amid rising global demand for air defense systems, driven by ongoing conflicts and increased military needs.
