L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) has expanded its Advanced Manufacturing Facility-South (AMF-South) in Huntsville with a $25 million investment that includes an additional 130,000 square feet of manufacturing space. The expansion increases the company’s footprint in Huntsville to ~670,000 square feet across three local sites. The AMF-South location is able to scale rapidly by utilizing space that already has the necessary infrastructure in place. The facility growth builds on the company’s sustained investments in Huntsville, including a tripling of capital spend from 2024 to 2025. Huntsville currently supports more than half of L3Harris’ solid rocket motor programs with inert component production, and output continues to increase year-over-year. AMF-South is currently hiring for a variety of key positions, including Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, Project Engineering, Quality and skilled trades such as Machinists and Composite Technicians.
“The additional space allows us to lean forward and surge capacity in a way that directly aligns with the Department of War’s demand for critical munition acceleration,” said Ken Bedingfield, President, Missile Solutions, L3Harris. “Huntsville’s expansion at AMF-South gives us the flexibility we need to grow quickly and continue delivering for our customers.”
