L3Harris breaks ground on four new solid rocket motor buildings in Camden, Arkansas

L3Harris Technologies/Missile Solutions rocket motor expansion

Construction began on four solid rocket motor production buildings at the Aerojet Rocketdyne campus in Camden, funded under a $215.6M Defense Production Act agreement. Key production moves into one 60,000 sq ft building, with a dedicated mixer building and propellant processing buildings.

• Camden builds over 75,000 solid rocket motors a year for Javelin, Stinger and Patriot.
• Consolidation cuts the distance motors travel during manufacturing by 80%.
• Workforce grew from 1,000+ in 2023 to 1,200.
• Orange County (VA) and Huntsville (AL) are also being expanded under the same agreement.
