Plans set to launch new Arkansas rocket motor production facility in Camden

CAMDEN, Ark. – Officials with L3Harris Technologies in Camden, Arkansas, announced plans to expand capacity by constructing a large solid rocket motor production facility.

Officials said the current campus will add more than 130,000 square feet of manufacturing and office space to the broader 2,000-acre production site, which employs approximately 1,300 people. It will include more than 20 buildings across 110 acres for high-speed production of LSRM propulsion for missile defense targets, interceptors, and hypersonic vehicles.

The company expects to begin construction of the new LSRM facilities this year and anticipates production beginning in 2027.

The new facility is expected to provide a six-fold increase in manufacturing capacity, officials said.

“Arkansas is a great place for L3Harris to fortify the domestic solid rocket motor industrial base, with its dedicated workforce and strong state and local partnerships,” said Christopher E. Kubasik, Chairman and CEO of L3Harris.
