Lockheed Martin develops low-cost Patriot interceptor to counter drone and missile threats
Lockheed Martin has unveiled a new, more affordable interceptor called the PAC-3 ACE, designed for the Patriot air defence system. The missile is priced at less than half the cost of existing interceptor options, making it more accessible for allied nations. It employs Hit-to-Kill technology to neutralise incoming drones and missiles. Initial production is expected to commence within 36 months, with support from industry partners. The development comes in response to escalating global conflicts and the emergence of new, lower-cost weaponry from rival manufacturers.
