# Lockheed Martin: major advances in solid rocket motor production

> Lockheed Martin has announced significant progress in solid rocket motor (SRM) production in collaboration with General Dynamics. Key milestones achieved since April include subcomponent design and testing, a critical design review, and the assembly of a full-scale mock motor. The new GDOTS facility in Camden, Arkansas, will span 270 acres and create nearly 100 jobs, with commissioning set for 2026. Executives from both companies emphasize the collaboration's importance for enhancing the American propulsion sector's resilience and competitiveness.

Lockheed Martin announces major advances in the development of solid rocket motor (SRM) production conducted with General Dynamics. Since work began in April, the teams have passed several key milestones, including the design and testing of subcomponents, a critical design review, and the assembly of a full-scale mock motor to validate industrial processes.

The new General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GDOTS) production facility in Camden, Arkansas, will cover 270 acres with 16 dedicated buildings totaling 50,000 square feet, with commissioning scheduled for 2026. This project will generate nearly 100 jobs.

Jerry Brode, vice president of Lockheed Martin's SRM center, highlights "the strong momentum and exemplary collaboration within the industry," while Chris Haynes, vice president of GDOTS, refers to "a decisive step" in strengthening the resilience and competitiveness of the American propulsion sector.
