Lockheed Martin has introduced a new, more affordable version of its Patriot missile system, aiming to meet the surging global demand for air defense. These new missiles are projected to cost less than half of the current US$4 million price tag per unit. The company plans to begin initial production within three years, collaborating with both US and European industry partners, a move that aligns with European efforts to boost local defense manufacturing amidst heightened geopolitical tensions.
