Aerojet Rocketdyne Awarded Multi-Year Contract to Power Additional Javelins
20 Junho 2023 - 1:00PM
In early April 2023, Aerojet Rocketdyne was awarded a two-year
contract by Lockheed Martin, valued at $23.8 million, to continue
its role in providing propulsion units for the Javelin missile.
“Aerojet Rocketdyne has powered more than 50,000 Javelin
missiles since the program’s inception more than 20 years ago,”
said Eileen P. Drake, Aerojet Rocketdyne CEO and president. “We
look forward to continuing to deliver the motors for this proven
and reliable system that protects our warfighters, allies and
strategic partners.”
Aerojet Rocketdyne produces an integrated launch and flight
motor to safely propel the Javelin missile from launcher to target.
The company was instrumental in advancing Javelin’s capabilities in
the early 2000s by developing a motor to increase the missile’s
range, culminating in the current Block 1 version of the
program.
Javelin is developed and produced by the Javelin Joint Venture
(JJV) between Raytheon Missiles & Defense in Tucson, Arizona,
and Lockheed Martin in Orlando, Florida. Javelin is a versatile,
one-man-portable and multi-purpose weapon system that provides the
capability to defeat a broad spectrum of threats under all
conditions. Javelin is currently in-service with the U.S. military
and more than 20 allied countries.
