In 2020, production of the PAC-3 Configuration 3 was discontinued, and only the PAC-3 MSE is now being produced. With the introduction of the PAC-3 MSE, the PAC-3 variant was renamed PAC-3 CRI. CRI stands for Cost Reduction Initiative.
So basically the capacity gained by the discontinuation of the production of the PAC-3 (PAC-3 CRI) was used to ramp up the production of the PAC-3 MSE.
