Funded entirely through BAE Systems’ own capital investment, the infrastructure initiative will accelerate delivery of critical systems and software to support US military readiness.
“This investment in capacity underscores BAE Systems’ long-term commitment to equipping US warfighters with the capabilities they need, when they need them,” said Dave Harrold, vice president and general manager of Countermeasure & Electromagnetic Attack Solutions at BAE Systems. “We’re building for the future, delivering at speed and scale, and enabling the capabilities required to deter aggression.”
Approximately $85 million is being implemented at the company’s Hudson campus, where advanced capabilities are designed, developed and tested. The renovation will modernise and reconfigure 65,000 square feet of workspace to optimize workflow and support the future needs of US and allied customers.
A $50 million manufacturing overhaul in Austin will scale factory infrastructure to quickly meet evolving defence requirements for affordable precision munitions. The site will support end-to-end operations by speeding up innovation and ensuring consistent, reliable production.
These industrial and manufacturing enhancements will support mission-critical Department of War and aerospace programmes and create new engineering and skilled manufacturing jobs in America.
