Arkansas Advanced Propulsion Facilities (AAPF)

under construction

L3Harris Technologies has commenced construction on the Arkansas Advanced Propulsion Facilities (AAPF) in Camden, Arkansas. The campus spans over 110 acres and will include more than 20 buildings dedicated to the production of solid rocket motors. The project aims to increase manufacturing capacity six-fold, focusing on medium and large rocket motors for tactical and air defense missiles, missile defense targets, interceptors, and hypersonic vehicles. The facility will incorporate advanced digital processes and automation, including robotic systems and automated quality inspections, adding 230,000 square feet of manufacturing and office space, bringing the total to over 1.5 million square feet at the Camden site. The investment is part of a broader commitment by L3Harris to enhance solid rocket motor production capabilities across the U.S., with over half-a-billion dollars allocated to facilities in Arkansas, Virginia, and Alabama.
