Yahoo Finance reported that Lockheed Martin and Avio signed a cooperation agreement on October 13, 2026, to expand U.S. production of solid rocket motors.

Rocket motor expansion reaches the U.S.

The agreement covers the Extended Range Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System and Precision Strike Missile programs. Production is planned at Avio USA's facility under construction in Hurt, Virginia, while Avio has launched an investment of more than USD 500 million in new U.S. solid rocket motor capacity, according to Yahoo Finance.

What does the deal mean for capacity?

The industrial opportunity is supported by Avio's first-half performance. Revenue reached EUR 276.00 million in the first half of 2026, up 17.50 percent from the same period of 2025, while net income returned to EUR 9.20 million from a EUR 0.20 million loss. Bellwether also reported first-half EBITDA of EUR 11.90 million and operating profit of EUR 1.20 million. The figures show revenue momentum, but the operating result remains modest relative to the expansion required.
