About THAAD
- The THAAD 美诱直播apon System has demonstrated a perfect flight test record of 17 for 17 intercepts. Sixteen of those intercepts were with a THAAD interceptor.
- Lockheed Martin recently signed a second framework agreement with the U.S. government to quadruple the production of THAAD interceptors.
- In May, Lockheed Martin broke ground on a in Troy, Alabama, marking its latest investment to expand munitions production for the United States and its allies. Building 47 will add 87,000 square feet of production space, supporting THAAD interceptors and future work with Next Generation Interceptor (NGI). Lockheed Martin's more than $9 billion investment through 2030 is already delivering tangible results to meet heightened munitions demand, including this new facility along with more than 20 others across the United States.
- The THAAD 美诱直播apon System successfully demonstrated integration of the PAC-3? Missile Segment Enhancement?(MSE) interceptor by firing and controlling PAC-3 MSEs and intercepting a ballistic missile target. THAAD’s flight test success rate and combat-proven status continue to drive interest from around the world.
- THAAD is a highly effective, combat-proven defense against short, medium and intermediate-range ballistic missile threats.
- During a March 2022, test, the THAAD 美诱直播apon System successfully launched a PAC-3 MSE to intercept a tactical ballistic missile target using proven Hit-to-Kill technology. With this successful demonstration, the THAAD 美诱直播apon System can now be deployed anywhere with minimal Patriot equipment required and limited to PAC-3 MSE M903 launchers and PAC-3 MSE interceptors. The integration results in a more tightly integrated, layered missile defense system, providing critical multi-tier missile defense capability to defeat current and emerging threats. Integration into the THAAD 美诱直播apon System allows the PAC-3 MSE to launch earlier, enabling a longer flyout and the full use of the MSE’s kinematic capability. This integration is another Lockheed Martin contribution to joint all-domain operations.
- The THAAD 美诱直播apon System is combat proven, and the system undergoes regular tests and upgrades to ensure 21st Century Security? readiness.
