L3Harris获洛马2.5亿美元后续合同，火箭发动机将在阿肯色州卡姆登新厂制造
美国国防承包商L3Harris科技公司10月12日宣布，已获得洛克希德·马丁公司一份价值2.5亿美元的后续合同，为其制造标准射程「制导多管火箭系统」（GMLRS）推进装置。消息由道琼斯通讯社当日发布。
这份合同将在L3Harris位于阿肯色州卡姆登市、全新建成的6万平方英尺「自由兵工厂」（Arsenal of Freedom）设施内履行，该工厂计划于今年晚些时候正式投产。新工厂将集中固体火箭发动机生产的各个环节，采用先进自动化和机器人技术以精简制造流程。
GMLRS是美军现役主力精确制导火箭弹药，广泛配装于「海马斯」高机动火箭炮系统。分析人士指出，这笔后续合同显示五角大楼在持续补充精确制导弹药库存的背景下，对本土固体火箭发动机产能的需求依然强劲。

L3Harris Wins $250 Million Lockheed Martin Follow-On Contract; Rocket Motors to Be Built in Camden, Arkansas
CAMDEN, Ark. — Defense contractor L3Harris Technologies announced on Oct. 12 that it has won a $250 million follow-on contract from Lockheed Martin to manufacture propulsion units for the standard-range Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS), according to Dow Jones Newswires.
The work will be performed at L3Harris's new 60,000-square-foot “Arsenal of Freedom” facility in Camden, Arkansas, which is scheduled to open later this year. The plant will centralize every stage of solid rocket motor production, using advanced automation and robotics to streamline manufacturing.
GMLRS is the U.S. military's primary precision-guided rocket munition, widely fielded on the HIMARS launcher system. Analysts say the follow-on award underscores continued Pentagon demand for domestic solid rocket motor capacity as precision munitions stockpiles are replenished.
