en.Wedoany.com Reported - L3Harris Technologies has broken ground on two new facilities at the Arkansas Advanced Propulsion Facilities (AAPF) in Camden, Arkansas, to support increased production capacity for the U.S. Army's PAC-3 propulsion system.

L3Harris is self-funding these new facilities to accelerate delivery timelines. The company produces the advanced dual-pulse solid rocket motor, Attitude Control Motors, and Lethality Enhancer for the PAC-3 MSE interceptor. The two new facilities include a approximately 75,000-square-foot casting, curing, and assembly facility, and an approximately 70,000-square-foot case preparation facility. These facilities will feature automated X-ray inspection systems utilizing artificial intelligence for rapid defect detection, fully automated casting and expanded curing capabilities, aimed at accelerating production throughput.

L3Harris and Arkansas state leaders held a groundbreaking ceremony last year for the entire AAPF campus, which is part of efforts to build modern solid rocket motor production facilities. AAPF will focus on producing medium to large solid rocket motors to support tactical missiles, air defense missiles, missile defense targets, interceptors, hypersonic vehicles, and emerging missile defense needs.

L3Harris is constructing approximately 60 facilities and expanding its manufacturing footprint by nearly 1 million square feet across production sites in Alabama, Arkansas, and Virginia.
