Lockheed Martin started 2022 with a capacity of 48 HIMARS launchers but has since increased production to 60.

The American corporation Lockheed Martin will once again expand the production of high-mobile HIMARS rocket launchers at a plant in Camden (Arkansas) amid growing demand for this equipment due to its effectiveness during the war in Ukraine. Reuters reported this the previous day.

“When you have a battle-tested system that’s available and in the news every day, that drives demand,” said Jennifer McManus, Vice President of Missile Business Operations at Lockheed Martin.

Specifically, it is planned to increase production to 96 HIMARS units per year. At the same time, Lockheed Martin started in 2022 with a capacity of 48 launchers, but since then production has increased to 60 units.

Thanks to several investments made over the past year at the plant where HIMARS is made, Lockheed Martin only needs a few upgrades to ramp up production, executives said.

It can be recalled that in February, the US State Department approved the supply of HIMARS to Poland and the Netherlands. We are talking about transactions worth billions of dollars.

It has also been reported that Germany plans to develop HIMARS. Rheinmetall is already in talks with Lockheed Martin for this.
