Lockheed Martin, the Pentagon’s No. 1 weapons supplier, said on Tuesday its customers want to defend themselves against possible incoming missile attacks and are increasingly asking about missile defense systems.
The greater interest comes amid a surge of North Korean long-range missile tests, unsettling its neighbors South Korea and Japan, as well as the United States.
“The level of dialogue around missile defense is now at the prime minister and minister of defense level,” Tim Cahill, the vice president of Lockheed’s Air and Missile Defense business, told Reuters in an interview.
