Boeing : Patriot Seeker Deliveries Hit Record Highs, More Growth Ahead

Published: 2025-03-25 09:13:08 ET BA

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., March 25, 2025 - Boeing's [NYSE: BA] production of Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) seekers reached an all-time high in 2024, resulting in more than 500 deliveries. In early 2025, the company also set new monthly and 12-month rolling average production records.

The seeker component enables the most advanced interceptors used by the Patriot air defense system to identify, track and defeat threats ranging from hostile aircraft to advanced ballistic and cruise missiles.

Boeing plans to further expand seeker production in 2025, with additional growth planned in the years ahead in support of increasing defense and security needs globally.

The company also expects to complete construction of its new 35,000-square-foot (3,300-square-meter) factory expansion this spring, which will unlock additional future production capacity once fully operational.

"We know that service members and civilians are increasingly depending on us to deliver this critical component for the world's best air defense system," said Jim Bryan, director of Integrated Air & Missile Defense. "This capability exemplifies our air and missile defense expertise, which we can leverage to address major challenges, such as America's next-generation homeland defense shield and more."

Over the past several years, Boeing has made investments and improvements as part of its strategic plan to ramp up PAC-3 seeker production, including:

Boeing produces PAC-3 seekers for the U.S. Army and international partner nations as a subcontractor to Lockheed Martin. Seventeen countries around the world now use PAC-3 interceptors, including most recently Ukraine.
