Officials from the United States and Spain formalized an agreement for Spain to purchase Lockheed Martin’s PATROT 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, Lockheed Martin. “As the world’s most advanced air defence missile, PAC-3 will enhance Spain’s national defence capabilities and enhance their 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.

The US Army has awarded Lockheed Martin a significant follow-on production contract for Joint-Air-to-Ground Missiles (JAGM) and Hellfire missiles, with a Program Year 3 (PY3) award totaling $483 million. This contract underscores the Army's ongoing confidence in both systems as vital defense capabilities, ensuring global readiness. Joey Drake, Program Management Director of Multi-Domain Missile Systems at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, emphasizes the significance of this contract in bolstering customer readiness worldwide. The contract, part of a multiple-year award initiated in March 2023, has a total value of up to $4.5 billion through 2025. Lockheed Martin's JAGM and Hellfire missiles play crucial roles in safeguarding armed forces and allies against evolving global threats. With Hellfire boasting over 30 Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers, including new customer Poland, this contract underscores the systems' global importance. Manufactured across Lockheed Martin facilities in Orlando, Florida; Dallas, Texas; Ocala, Florida; Archbald, Pennsylvania; and Troy, Alabama, these systems epitomize precision and reliability in critical combat scenarios. Lockheed Martin remains committed to delivering top-notch procurement and production support for both systems, ensuring maximum flexibility to meet the needs of domestic and international customers.

🚀💪 Aerojet Rocketdyne has partnered with Lockheed Martin to provide propulsion capabilities for the Missile Defense Agency’s Next Generation Interceptor program. The effort is part of the country’s objective to employ an initial line of defense countering long-range ballistic missile threats. “Our propulsion technology has powered the nation’s missile defense for decades,” L3Harris Technologies CEO and Chair Chris Kubasik remarked. “As the industry-leading propulsion provider to all [Missile Defense Agency] interceptor programs currently in production, our team has the expertise needed to provide this specialty propulsion to defend the homeland from evolving threats.” #military #army #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #pentagon #airdefense #airdefence #missiledefense #missiledefence #nationalsecurity #propulsion

Russian X-101 cruise missile using flare decoys. A new approach is to equip the missiles with flare bombs to make it difficult for them to be intercepted by air defense missiles that use IR detectors. This method of using flare was only used in military aircraft, and its entry into the world of missiles will make air defense tasks difficult!! (makes little sense, but Russia..) or do they have an integrated missle detection, How about Photoelectric sensor integrated with missile countermeasures systems and warning system for the dangers of missiles and military projectiles that use light or lasers to guide them !! Can we avoid this in the future and deal with it ? My goal in this project is to develop and design an electro-optical sensor and integrate it with other military systems such as: Directional infrared countermeasures (DIRCM) Or Combined Infrared Countermeasures (CIRCM)

Proud Moments in Defense Technology 🚀 As a Cybersecurity Engineer at INTRACOM DEFENSE, I am particularly proud to witness and share the recent achievements of our parent company, Israel Aerospace Industries (#IAI). Last night's flawless performance in air defense is a testament to the advanced technological capabilities that IAI brings to the global defense landscape. 🌍 The multilayered defense systems developed by IAI played a pivotal role in intercepting threats launched, showcasing the effectiveness of the Arrow systems against long-range ballistic missiles. 🛡️ This not only ensured the safety of Israel's citizens but also demonstrated the precision and reliability of IAI's radar and intelligence-collecting systems. These systems form the backbone of the IDF’s missile defense strategy, enabling a comprehensive and total systemic response to threats. It is a clear example of how high-caliber technology can provide substantial security solutions in critical times. 🛰️ As part of the team at INTRACOM DEFENSE, it is inspiring to contribute to and be associated with such groundbreaking defense technology. We continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in cybersecurity and defense, ensuring a safer world. 💪 #IDE #INTRACOMDEFENSE #DefenseTechnology #CyberSecurity #IAI #AirDefense #Innovation

Japan’s Missile Defense Ships Will Now Be Multi-Role, Cruiser-Like Japan moves away from procuring dedicated missile defense ships, opting for a multi-role, cruiser-like design that focuses on that mission. #PhoenixDelivers #japan

An interesting article by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). One of the most common criticisms of advanced Air and Missile Defense (AMD) systems, such as the Iron Dome, is the comparative cost of the interceptor vs. the threat. What such critics fail to realize, and one of the main points given in the article, is that the potential cost of damages should such a “cheap” threat hit its target can be exponentially more than that of the interceptor used. While the article points to the conflict against the Iranian-backed Houthis in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, it can also take an example of the AMD efforts in Israel. According to INSS Israel, more than 11,000 ballistic threats have been launched towards Israel since October 7th [1]. Had Israel not been protected by an advanced, multi-layered AMD array (headlined by the #IronDome and #DavidsSling, along with the Arrow and other systems), the loss of human life (priceless) and damage to assets and property would have been astronomical, most likely dwarfing the cost of the interceptors necessary to protect against such threats. Another argument I’d like to throw in on why AMD’s value far outweighs its costs can be made using a quote from the article: “Air defenses buy time to find another means to end the Houthi threat to shipping lanes. In this light, the important issue is not whether a single interceptor costs more than the missile it defeated, but rather whether those interceptors successfully allowed the United States to pursue its goals in the region effectively.” AMD is a critical strategic capability that provides decision-makers with the flexibility and time to make the correct decisions, and its costs cannot be analyzed without first looking at the significant value that it brings. #airdefense #missiledefense [1] https://lnkd.in/d9Jk7hsT
