LGD: Serious Dollars for AEGIS Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD)

Lockheed Martin has received a \$92 million contract modification to enhance the AEGIS Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) system, supporting the U.S. Navy and allies like Japan, South Korea, and Australia. AEGIS combines the SPY-1 radar, the MK 41 Vertical Launching System, and Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) interceptors to detect and destroy ballistic threats. Although each SM-3 can cost \$10–\$30 million—raising concerns about affordability in prolonged conflicts—defense experts argue that expanding interceptor stockpiles remains essential given today’s evolving global threats. #AEGIS #MissileDefense #LockheedMartin #GlobalSecurity
