On Monday, defense contractor L3Harris announced another major milestone with a $25 million investment in its Rocket City-based Advanced Manufacturing Facility.
According to company leadership, the new funding enables a 130,000-square-foot expansion of manufacturing space at the Huntsville location, growing L3Harris' footprint in the city to 670,000 square feet across three local sites.
"The additional space allows us to lean forward and surge capacity in a way that directly aligns with the Department of War’s demand for critical munition acceleration," said Ken Bedingfield, president of missile solutions, L3Harris. "Huntsville’s expansion at AMF-South gives us the flexibility we need to grow quickly and continue delivering for our customers."
The facility growth builds on the company’s sustained investments in Huntsville, including a tripling of capital spend from 2024 to 2025.
Huntsville currently supports more than half of L3Harris’ solid rocket motor programs through inert component production, and output continues to increase year over year.
