Lockheed—whose Missiles and Fire Control division is based in Grand Prairie—said its THAAD interceptors are "the only U.S. system designed to intercept threats both inside and outside the atmosphere, providing a critical layer of missile defense."
For over a month, Patriot missile interceptors have been fired at Iran's incoming ballistic missiles by the U.S. and its allies across the Mideast. Now a multi-billion-dollar contract between the U.S. government and Lockheed—whose Missiles and Fire Control division is headquartered in North Texas—aims to deliver "record numbers" of the interceptors for American and allied forces this year.
