Lockheed Martin’s Camden Operations facility is a manufacturing, final assembly, test and storage operation for Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control (MFC) programs. Located in the Highland Industrial Park in Camden, Arkansas, it occupies a combined manufacturing and support function floor space on more than 2.2 million square feet spread out over more than 2,400 acres of land. More than 1000 employees work in the facility’s manufacturing and support buildings.
Established in 1978 as the home of the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) production program, Camden Operations is today Lockheed Martin’s Precision Fires operations center of excellence. It continues to produce the MLRS launcher and family of munitions, which includes the Guided MLRS Unitary Rocket. It is home to the Tactical Missile System (TACMS) missile, and the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) launcher, which fires both MLRS rockets and TACMS missiles. The PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (MSE), the world’s most advanced air defense missile, is also manufactured here.
The Camden Operations facility also manufactures elements of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) Weapon System, including the launchers and fire control/communications units.
In November 2012, the Camden Operations facility was one of eleven MFC facilities selected as a recipient of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award for performance excellence and quality achievement. The facility received IndustryWeek magazine’s Best Plants Award in 2006, and the Shingo Silver Medallion for Operational Excellence in 2008 and 2009. Other awards include the Arkansas Governor’s Award for Manufacturing Quality, the Arkansas Philanthropic Business of the Year, the Arkansas Recycler of the Year and the Camden Area Chamber of Commerce’s Industry of The Year.
