Gigantul american Lockheed Martin anunţă că va produce rachete low-cost pentru sistemul Patriot - Economica.net

Lockheed Martin announced a cheaper interceptor missile version for the Patriot system, addressing military needs for cost-effective solutions against drones and missiles. The new PAC-3 ACE missile will cost less than half of the current PAC-3 MSE price, with production expected to start within 36 months. This move highlights the competition faced by established defense firms from startups offering affordable weaponry. The demand for Patriot interceptors has surged due to ongoing conflicts, particularly in Ukraine, and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Lockheed aims to collaborate with U.S. and European partners for this development.
