    "excerpt": "Every PAC-3 interceptor fired by a Patriot battery depends on one component made in Huntsville, Alabama: the radar seeker in its nose. Boeing builds it as a subcontractor to Lockheed Martin, and with Patriot stocks drained by wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, the seeker has become the bottleneck. A post on Instagram lays out Boeing’s plan to triple production. Most of its numbers hold up; two do not, and one is already out of date. Quick Facts On 1 April 2026 Boeing and the Pentagon signed a seven-year framework to roughly triple PAC-3 seeker production, from about 650 in 2025 to about 2,000 a year. It mirrors Lockheed Martin’s own framework, signed on 6 January 2026, to raise PAC-3 MSE missile output from about 600 to about 2,000 a year over the same period. Lockheed delivered 620 PAC-3 MSEs in 2025. Boeing says it has invested more than $200 million in its Huntsville site since 2024, including a 35,000 sq ft expansion, and that deliveries rose by more than 30 percent in 2025. It plans about 850 seekers in 2026. In October 2025 Boeing announced about $2.7 billion in multiyear contracts with the US Army and Lockheed Martin, covering more than 3,000 seekers through 2030 at up to 750 a year. The caption says a further contract is under negotiation. That is out of date: on 5 October 2026 Lockheed Martin awarded Boeing a seven-year contract worth about $14.7 billion for PAC-3...",
