HUNTSVILLE, Alabama — Lockheed Martin is investigating other domains where its wide variety of proven missiles might operate in the future, and how new capabilities could be brought to bear to fill missile defense needs across the services, according the integrated air-and-missile defense vice president for the company’s Missiles and Fire Control business.
Lockheed’s staple, Patriot Advanced Capability-3, and the upgraded version — PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement, known as MSE, — as well as its Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or THAAD, interceptors and its Miniature Hit-to-Kill missile provide a wide variety of capability within the portfolio.
The company has built a family of interceptors that range from roughly 20 feet away to 20 inches and with tLockheedhat range, “you start saying, ‘Well, how can you start applying these systems and the systems that we’ve built, like PAC-3 and THAAD? How do you start applying them into domains that they aren’t taditionally employed in?” Tim Cahill told a small group of reporters at the Space and Missile Defense Symposium
