07/25/2025
L3Harris Technologies, a defense contractor and information technology services provider, plans to expand its operations in Camden, Arkansas. The $193 million project is expected to create 50 jobs in Calhoun County.

The investment will include the construction of 20 new manufacturing facilities at the company’s existing site, totaling 130,000 square feet, that will produce large solid rocket motors.

“Arkansas is a great place for L3Harris to fortify the domestic solid rocket motor industrial base with its dedicated workforce and strong state and local partnerships,” said Christopher E. Kubasik, Chair and CEO, L3Harris. “Large solid rocket motors are essential to our nation’s missile and strategic defense, and as the Trusted Disruptor, we are strengthening our ability to produce these systems rapidly and at scale, which is essential for current demand and the Golden Dome missile defense shield.” L3Harris Technologies, Inc. produces products for command and control systems, wireless equipment, tactical radios, avionics and electronic systems, night vision equipment, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C3ISR) systems and products, ocean systems, instrumentation, navigation products, training devices and services, and both terrestrial/spaceborne antennas for use in the government, defense, and commercial sectors.

“L3Harris is a major part of the aerospace and defense industry in Arkansas, and we are excited to see the company’s continued growth in our state,” noted Clint O’Neal, executive director of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission. “With this capital investment, L3Harris is advancing our national security and creating new jobs for Arkansans that will strengthen our state’s economy and create new opportunities in south Arkansas.”

"The Calhoun and Ouachita County area is a hub for the aerospace and defense industry in Arkansas and the United States,” added Ouachita Partnership for Economic Development Executive Director James Lee Silliman. “We are excited that L3Harris has chosen to invest in new facilities in Calhoun County, and we stand ready to assist them to succeed in our area.”
