en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, L3Harris Technologies announced the completion of the expansion of its Advanced Manufacturing Facility-South (AMF-South) in Huntsville, Alabama, adding 130,000 square feet of manufacturing space at an investment of $25 million.

Following the expansion, L3Harris's total footprint in Huntsville has grown to approximately 670,000 square feet across three local sites. The company stated that the AMF-South facility can leverage existing infrastructure space to achieve rapid capacity expansion.

This capacity increase aims to meet the Department of War's demand for accelerated production of critical munitions. Ken Bedingfield, President of L3Harris's Missile Solutions division, said the new space enables the company to move forward and rapidly scale up production.

The expansion builds on L3Harris's ongoing investments in Huntsville, including tripling capital expenditures from 2024 to 2025.

The Huntsville facility currently produces inert components for over half of L3Harris's solid rocket motor programs, with output maintaining year-over-year growth.

The AMF-South facility is recruiting for several key positions in mechanical and manufacturing engineering, project engineering, quality, and skilled trades, including machinists and composite technicians.
