# GDOTS Expands Camden Rocket Motor Capacity

General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GDOTS) is nearing operational readiness at its solid rocket motor campus in Camden, Arkansas, designed to serve multiple customers and scale production with demand. The campus supports GDOTS’ 2024 agreement with Lockheed Martin to produce Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) motors. Separately, a Department of War-backed **$215.6 million** project is supporting an Aerojet Rocketdyne facility in Camden for Javelin, Stinger, and GMLRS propulsion production. Together, the projects signal an expansion of U.S. rocket-motor manufacturing capacity, rather than a specific new solicitation or award for suppliers.

- The facilities may create supply-chain demand associated with propulsion production; companies should assess whether their capabilities align with requirements for materials, components, equipment, or manufacturing support.
- Procurement teams and contractors supporting missile programs can account for added production capacity in supply-chain planning, while distinguishing the GDOTS–Lockheed Martin agreement from the separate Aerojet Rocketdyne facility project.
- The multi-customer design and scalable production model indicate that Camden’s industrial base may support changing demand across multiple missile programs.
