PAC-3 Demonstrates 360-Degree Engagement Capability in Successful Flight Test

White Sands Missile Range, NM, August 18, 2025 – In a flight test event, Lockheed Martin’s (NYSE: LMT) Patriot Advanced Capability – 3 Missile Segment Enhancement (PAC-3 MSE) engaged an airborne threat (ABT) using the Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS).

During the flight test, a PAC-3 MSE successfully intercepted a target using data from LTAMDS’s secondary sector – a significant step toward fielding the 360-degree engagement capability for the U.S. Army’s modernized Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) architecture. This milestone demonstrates PAC-3’s ability to work seamlessly with cutting-edge technologies.

“PAC-3 continues to demonstrate advanced, reliable performance in increasingly complex operational environments,” said Brian Kubik, vice president of PAC-3 Programs at Lockheed Martin. “Delivering 360-degree engagement capability will enable soldiers to defend against threats from any direction, enhancing the U.S. Army’s IAMD capabilities.”

Demand for PAC-3’s advanced capabilities continue to rise following its performance in real-world operations. Lockheed Martin is on track to deliver a new record high of more than 600 PAC-3 MSEs in 2025 and working closely with the US Army to take proactive steps towards accelerating delivery to our worldwide customers.
