Progress continues on NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Dragonfly mission. At our Waterton campus in Colorado, teams recently installed the rotorcraft’s four fuel tanks, marking another step toward its 2028 launch. In 2034, Dragonfly will arrive at Titan, where it will fly across the moon’s surface to explore one of the most intriguing environments in our solar system.

We’re redefining missile production by scaling the Javelin supply chain to support increased demand. Alongside nearly 100 suppliers and 25 key partners, the JJV has been working with supply chain to ramp their tooling and facilities in order to successfully meet our Javelin missile production ramp later this year. Automation and smarter infrastructure are enabling a more-resilient Javelin supply chain. Learn how: https://lmt.co/4sSXLA1

We’ve taken the next step in munitions acceleration by signing a new framework agreement with the United States Department of War that will quadruple Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) production.
