Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics announced the signing of a strategic teaming agreement for the production of solid rocket motors that will bring security and resiliency to a vital domestic supply chain.
Initial work will focus on the production of solid rocket motors for the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) and will be performed at the General Dynamics facility in Camden, Arkansas starting in 2025. This project will be followed by a phased planning approach to transition to other products.
GD-OTS will expand its operations in Camden leveraging advanced manufacturing to deliver affordable and reliable solid rocket motors at production scale.
This follows the recent creation of Lockheed Martin’s Solid Rocket Motor Product Center designed to increase the surety of supply for cost effective propulsion systems.
