It is stated that the plan was prepared to meet the increasing global demand and the air defense needs of the USA and allied countries. It is anticipated that the new production capacity will be reached gradually over the next seven years.
PRODUCTION LINES WILL BE EXPANDED
Within the scope of the agreement, Lockheed Martin is planned to expand its existing production facilities and establish new production infrastructures. The company will also build a new ammunition production center in the state of Arkansas, where advanced production technologies and robotic systems will be used.
Company officials announced that they have invested billions of dollars to increase production capacity in recent years, and that more than 20 facilities in different states of the USA will be modernized in the coming period.
IT CAN HIT TARGETS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE ATMOSPHERE
THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) serves as an air defense system developed against short, medium and medium-long range ballistic missiles. The system can destroy targets both outside the atmosphere and during re-entry into the atmosphere.
The USA aims to rapidly increase its production capacity in this field due to increasing missile threats and demands from allied countries in recent years. The new agreement is expected to strengthen the supply chain in the defense industry and ensure faster renewal of missile stocks during possible crisis periods, officials said.
