What happened
Lockheed Martin and Avio reached a strategic cooperation agreement for the production of solid rocket motors (SRMs). Under the agreement, Avio’s U.S. arm will manufacture SRMs for Lockheed Martin’s Extended Range Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (ER GMLRS) and the Precision Strike Missile (PrSM). This production will take place at Avio USA’s new facility in Hurt, Virginia.
Why it matters
The collaboration expands the SRM industrial base, providing resiliency to the U.S. supply chain. By augmenting production capacity, the agreement allows Lockheed Martin to accelerate manufacturing capabilities for these essential long-range munitions.
