Lockheed Martin partners with Hadrian to expand missile manufacturing capacity
Hadrian signed a seven-year agreement to install automated manufacturing capability at Lockheed Martin's Missiles and Fire Control facility in Grand Prairie, Texas. Phased production cells will combine computer numerical control machining, robotic inspection and Hadrian's Opus software to manufacture components for PAC-3 MSE, THAAD, Precision Strike Missile and GMLRS programs. Commissioning is scheduled to begin in early 2027, following the companies' December 2025 memorandum on an on-site machining and inspection cell. The arrangement also provides access to Hadrian's wider machining network so component production can move between facilities, although the additional output and agreement value remain undisclosed.
