Boeing and the United States Department of War have concluded a 7-year framework agreement to triple the production of seekers (guideheads) to the PAC-3 MSE missiles. This initiative is simply a key component of the Arsenal of Freedom programme and is intended to guarantee the dominance of the US Armed Forces in the field of combat by strengthening air and rocket defence. The aim is to accomplish an yearly number of around 2000 missiles in 2030.
