Spain Joins PAC-3 User Community

Officials from the United States and Spain formalised an agreement for Spain to purchase Lockheed Martin’s Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE) missiles and related support equipment. With this agreement, Spain becomes PAC-3’s 16th partner nation.

“At Lockheed Martin, we’re devoted to helping our customers stay ahead of new, highly contested threats,” said Brian Kubik, vice president of PAC-3 Programs, of Lockheed Martin. “As the world’s most advanced air defence missile, PAC-3 will enhance Spain’s national defence capabilities and effectiveness in the 21st Century Security® battlespace.”

PAC-3 MSE features advanced capabilities to defend against incoming threats including tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, hypersonics and aircraft. By adding PAC-3 MSE to its arsenal, Spain will improve its air and missile defence capabilities against evolving threats.

Lockheed Martin has been a trusted partner to the government of Spain and the Spanish defence industry for more than two decades.
