Lockheed Martin Expands Advanced Munitions Manufacturing in Texas, Driving Thousands of New American Jobs
Lockheed Martin announced a $300 million expansion of its Grand Prairie, Texas munitions plant and plans to create 6,000 U.S. jobs, including 2,000 in Texas. The facility — which supports all Missiles and Fire Control programs including PAC-3 MSE, THAAD, PrSM and JATM — will grow past 735,000 square feet, and partner Hadrian will install a 24-machine automated machining cell expected operational in early 2027. The move is part of a broader $8-9 billion commitment through 2030 to scale munitions production and modernize more than 20 U.S.
