Raytheon has completed the expansion of its missile integration facility in Huntsville, Alabama, increasing the hub’s integration and delivery capacity by over 50 percent.
Backed by a $115-million capital investment, the work to expand the RTX company’s Redstone Missile Integration Facility with an additional 26,000 square feet (2,415 square meters) began in April 2024.
Barbara Borgonovi, president of Naval Power at Raytheon, noted the expansion to mark “an important step in our ability to deliver more missiles to our customers faster, and our investment here demonstrates our commitment to making that a reality.”
The Redstone facility was inaugurated in 2012 and functions as the company’s cornerstone for missile production and integration.
It concentrates on the Standard Missile (SM) family and other advanced weapon systems, including the SM-6 multi-mission missile as well as the SM-3 ballistic missile interceptor.
“Raytheon’s continued investment in North Alabama strengthens both our local economy and our nation’s defense,” said US Representative Dale Strong.
Scaling Missile Output
The expansion follows a series of deals made in February 2026 with the Pentagon to increase the production capacity of several critical munitions.
These include scaling the annual output of Tomahawk cruise missiles to more than 1,000 units and AMRAAM air‑to‑air missiles to at least 1,900.
The SM family, particularly the SM-6, SM‑3 Block IIA, and SM-3 Block IB, is also expected to expand production.
Work is primarily set for completion at Raytheon’s facilities in Huntsville, Alabama; Tucson, Arizona; and Andover, Massachusetts.
