Lockheed Martin THAAD

Drones and rockets from Iranian-backed militias have targeted U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria 16 times in the past 10 days.

The U.S. Army is now the acquisition executive for the large-scale plan to defend Guam from air and missile threats.

The THAAD and PAC-3 MSE integration was a long, multiyear effort that was fielded and accepted earlier this year.

The government can now launch a feasibility study to “closely review the necessity and economic feasibility" of the $2.03 billion project before final approval.

A multilayered plan to defend Guam from swarming missile attacks will require a new level of integration between Army and Navy interceptor systems.

Guam's current Thaad system will not provide the kind of 360-degree defensive coverage that Guam will need, making the purchase of the land-based system a top priority, PACOM's chief says.

Lockheed wants BAE to design and manufacture a new generation of infrared seekers for THAAD.
