Boeing’s production of Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) seekers reached an all-time high in 2024, resulting in more than 500 deliveries. In early 2025, the company also set new monthly production records.
Boeing plans to further expand missile production through 2025, with additional growth planned in the coming years in of growing defense and security needs globally.
The company also expects to complete construction of its new 3.300-square-foot factory expansion this spring, which will free up additional future production capacity once fully operational.
In recent years, Boeing has made investments and improvements as part of its strategic plan to increase production of the PAC-3 missile, including:
- Expansion and modernization of facilities with cutting-edge equipment and technology, from automated inspection to robotic welding equipment.
- Improving manufacturing processes and production controls for higher quality the first time.
- Strengthen and diversify supplier relationships for a more agile, accessible, resilient and scalable supply chain.
Boeing produces the PAC-3 for the U.S. Army and international partner nations as a subcontractor to Lockheed Martin. Seventeen countries around the world now use PAC-3 interceptors, most recently including Ukraine.
