Lockheed Martin Invests $420 Million To Expand Missile Operations In Arkansas

Lockheed Martin announced a $420 million investment to expand missile manufacturing at Camden, Arkansas, with 650 additional full-time jobs expected over five years. The expansion will increase production capacity supporting PAC-3 interceptors, Terminal High Altitude Area Defense and Precision Strike Missile programmes. Camden already produces missiles, rockets and launchers for seven Pentagon programmes, including GMLRS, HIMARS, ATACMS and M270, alongside its air-defence and precision-strike work. The announcement concerns capital spending and manufacturing expansion rather than a new missile procurement award, and it does not specify additional annual output attributable to this investment alone.
