Arkansas Advanced Propulsion Facilities

under construction

The Arkansas Advanced Propulsion Facilities (AAPF) is an extensive solid rocket motor production campus at L3Harris' Camden site. The campus will include more than 20 buildings across 110 acres and is expected to increase large solid rocket motor manufacturing capacity six-fold. It will specialize in producing medium and large rocket motors critical for tactical and air defense missiles, missile defense targets, interceptors, hypersonic vehicles, and emerging missile defense needs. The facilities will incorporate advanced digital processes, automation, precision manufacturing with robotic systems, automated quality inspections, real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance analytics, and autonomous ground vehicles for motor transportation. The campus will add 230,000 square feet of manufacturing and office space to the broader 2,000-acre Camden site, bringing total manufacturing square footage to more than 1.5 million.
