Northrop Grumman is expanding its Allegany Ballistics Laboratory in West Virginia. The expansion adds production capacity for 300 strike missiles annually.
This move supports a $2 billion initiative to modernize the U.S. defense manufacturing base. The project features a new 113,000-square-foot facility utilizing automation and data-driven manufacturing.
Operating in partnership with the U.S. Navy, the site aims to reduce lead times for tactical solid rocket motors. The upgrade also improves quality assurance across numerous U.S. missile programs.
