L3Harris Continues Expansion of Solid Rocket Motor Facilities in Huntsville
HUNTSVILLE, Ala., June 1, 2026 — L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) is making significant strides in its Huntsville operations with the recent expansion of its Advanced Manufacturing Facility-South (AMF-South). This venture represents a $25 million investment, which facilitates an additional 130,000 square feet of manufacturing space.
With this expansion, L3Harris enhances its footprint in Huntsville to approximately 670,000 square feet across three sites, positioning itself effectively for future growth. The AMF-South facility can scale operations rapidly, thanks to its existing infrastructure.
Ken Bedingfield, President of Missile Solutions at L3Harris, stated, “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. Huntsville’s expansion at AMF-South gives us the flexibility we need to grow quickly and continue delivering for our customers.”
This facility growth complements L3Harris’ substantial investments in Huntsville, which saw a tripling of capital expenditures from 2024 to 2025. Notably, Huntsville now supports more than half of L3Harris’ solid rocket motor programs, with production levels of inert components continuing to rise year-over-year.
Currently, AMF-South is actively hiring for various key roles, including positions in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, Project Engineering, Quality Assurance, as well as skilled trades such as Machinists and Composite Technicians.
