GM is already involved in the missile business. The automaker will supply parts for Patriot missiles to Lockheed Martin. The defense contractor announced the news on Thursday. The move is expected to ease US ammunition reserves, which have bottomed out due to the consumption of the conflict between Ukraine and the Middle East. The Pentagon has asked Lockheed to drastically increase ammunition production capacity. Lockheed said GM delivered the first batch of missile shell components for the PAC-3 MSE interceptor in August. Lockheed did not disclose details such as the size of the order and the scope of subsequent business. Pentagon officials are actively attracting other manufacturing companies, such as automobile manufacturers and their suppliers, to cooperate with arms manufacturers to supplement military supplies.
