The Boeing Company announced on Monday that it started working on expanding its Huntsville, Alabama, facility that manufactures Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) seeker.
"The Boeing-built seeker provides guidance data to the PAC-3 interceptor used by the Patriot surface-to-air defense system, enabling it to identify, track and intercept advanced air and missile threats," the company announced.
Boeing noted that 35,000 square feet will be added to the Alabama plant and it will begin working in full expanded capacity in early 2027. The aircraft maker also pointed out that it has invested over $100 million in the factory since 2010.
