The company said Thursday it expects MDA to deploy the additional weapon system by 2025 to help defend against ballistic missile threats.
The U.S. Army first activated a THAAD battery in May 2008 and fielded the seventh set in December 2016.
Dan Nimblett, vice president of upper-tier integrated air and missile defense at Lockheed’s missiles and fire control business, said the system has completed “16 successful flight test intercepts.”
THAAD is designed with hit-to-kill technology that works to intercept and neutralize lethal payloads before they hit their targets, according to Lockheed.
