华盛顿，7月29日（路透社）——美国国防部周三表示，美国陆军已授予洛克希德·马丁公司（LMT.N）一份最高价值586亿美元的合同，用于生产爱国者防空拦截弹。当前伊朗与乌克兰的冲突正在加剧美国武器库存的紧张状况。
美国已向盟友提供了大量武器，同时自身在伊朗的军事行动中也在使用弹药，这引发了外界对关键防空系统和精确制导武器库存的担忧。

美国陆军表示，此次授予的合同将把今年4月签订的一份为期一年、价值47亿美元的原有协议，延长为一份为期七年的框架协议，从而形成一项从2026财年至2032财年的拦截弹多年采购计划。
五角大楼的谈判代表正敦促承包商大幅加快生产速度，今年早些时候达成的临时性生产协议是提高导弹产量努力的核心举措。唐纳德·特朗普政府也一直在加大对国防承包商的施压，要求其将生产置于向股东派息之上。特朗普今年1月签署了一项行政令，旨在识别那些在政府合同中表现不佳、同时仍向股东分配利润的承包商。
行业高管们对生产协议表示欢迎，但称国会必须先拨付资金，企业才能加大对零部件和生产能力的投入。
五角大楼许多弹药采购协议的具体条款和交付日期仍在谈判中。
美国此前还与雷神技术公司（RTX.N）达成了一项类似的框架协议，旨在将“战斧”巡航导弹的年产量从目前的约60枚提升至最终的1000枚。
总部位于马里兰州贝塞斯达的国防承包商洛克希德·马丁公司表示，这笔资金将使其能够兑现承诺，到2030年底将PAC-3 MSE的生产能力提高两倍，并将其位于阿肯色州卡姆登的工厂的员工数量增加50%，从1200人增至约1850人。洛克希德·马丁此前曾宣布，将把爱国者PAC-3导弹拦截弹的年产量提升至2000枚。
洛克希德·马丁公司表示，将在2030年前投入80亿至90亿美元，对美国20多家工厂进行现代化改造，其中包括阿拉巴马州和阿肯色州的新弹药生产中心。
PAC-3 MSE是一种“直接碰撞杀伤”型拦截弹，集成于爱国者防空系统中，用于拦截弹道导弹、巡航导弹和飞行器。
华盛顿智库战略与国际研究中心本周估计，美国军方目前拥有的爱国者拦截弹不足1000枚，萨德（THAAD）拦截弹不足250枚——这两款都是关键的防空系统。近期这两款武器在中东都被大量使用。

US strikes $58.6 billion Patriot missile deal amid rising stockpile concerns
2026-07-29T22:24:51.095Z / Reuters
WASHINGTON, July 29 (Reuters) – The U.S. Army awarded Lockheed Martin
LMT.N
a contract worth up to $58.6 billion to produce Patriot interceptor missiles, the Pentagon said on Wednesday, as conflicts in Iran and Ukraine strain U.S. weapons stockpiles.
The U.S. has supplied large quantities of weapons to allies while also using munitions in its own military operations in Iran, raising concerns about inventories of key air defense and precision-guided weapons.

The Lockheed award converts a previous one-year deal worth $4.7 billion awarded in April into a seven-year draft agreement, creating a multiyear procurement plan for the interceptors from fiscal 2026 through 2032, the Army said.
Pentagon negotiators are pressing contractors to move much faster, with tentative production agreements struck earlier this year at the center of efforts to increase missile output. The administration of President Donald Trump has also steadily increased pressure on defense contractors to prioritize production over shareholder payouts. Trump signed an executive order in January to identify contractors deemed to be underperforming on government contracts while continuing to distribute profits to shareholders.
Industry executives have welcomed the production agreements, but said Congress must first appropriate funding before companies can invest more heavily in components and production capacity.
Exact terms and delivery dates for many Pentagon munitions deals are still under negotiation.
A similar framework deal had been struck with Raytheon’s parent company RTX
RTX.N
to boost production of Tomahawk cruise missiles from the current rate of about 60 per year for the U.S. to eventually 1,000 units annually.
Lockheed, a Bethesda, Maryland-based defense contractor, said the funding would allow it to follow through on a promise to triple PAC-3 MSE production capacity by the end of 2030 and increase jobs at its Camden, Arkansas, plant by 50%, to about 1,850 from 1,200. Lockheed previously announced Patriot PAC-3 missile interceptor production would go to 2,000 units annually.
Lockheed Martin said it is investing $8 billion to $9 billion through 2030 to modernize more than 20 U.S. facilities, including new munitions centers in Alabama and Arkansas.
PAC-3 MSE is a hit-to-kill interceptor used within the Patriot air defense system to counter ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and aircraft.
The Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington-based think tank, estimated this week that the U.S. military has fewer than 1,000 Patriot interceptors on hand and fewer than 250 THAAD interceptors — two key air defense systems. Both have seen recent heavy use in the Middle East.
