Lockheed Martin and Rheinmetall agree on ATACMS production in Germany, enabling EU-accessible procurement
Lockheed Martin and Rheinmetall signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly produce ATACMS short-range ballistic missiles in Germany, marking the first non-US manufacturing site. The plan is aimed at easing production bottlenecks as Lockheed winds down ATACMS output in Camden, Arkansas, and could broaden eligibility for other European purchases via an EU lending scheme.
