The PAC-3 Edge gets a new seeker, extra steering thrusters and a Northrop Grumman motor that fires in three bursts, saving energy for the final chase.
That’s the threat Patriots are losing to now.
US officials say Iran is firing faster missiles that swerve on the way down, and its Fattah warhead carries its own small rocket motor to jink in the last seconds, which is how Houthi missiles of the same breed slipped through to hit Riyadh’s airport.
But Edge won’t test until 2027 or deploy until 2031, so the $58 billion push to triple today’s Patriot production is what keeps troops and cities covered until it shows up.
