L3Harris Technologies has broken ground on four new solid rocket motor production facilities at its site in Camden, Arkansas. The company, which designs and manufactures aerospace and defense systems, partnered with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to invest $215.6 million into this expansion. This new development includes a 60,000-square-foot facility that will centralize production, increasing efficiency by reducing transportation distances for key components. The expansion also includes new propellant processing buildings and a dedicated mixer building to support the growing demand for tactical and strategic missile capabilities.
The new facilities will incorporate new technologies, including modern equipment and updated manufacturing processes, to support an increase in solid rocket motor production. The project is part of a broader $215.6 million cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense Production Act Title III program, which aims to strengthen the domestic manufacturing of rocket propulsion systems.
