Amid the U.S. Army’s efforts to expand its air defense capabilities in response to increasingly sophisticated threats such as hypersonic missiles, Lockheed Martin has introduced a new missile interceptor, the PAC-3 Edge, designed to outperform even the most advanced variants of the Patriot system. The interceptor is currently competing in the U.S. Army’s “Future Interceptor” program competition. The PAC-3 Edge builds upon the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (PAC-3 MSE), which has been widely employed in missile defense operations during the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Iran-Iraq conflict.
