Raytheon and NATO partners launch European AMRAAM production expansion
Raytheon has initiated a series of feasibility studies to qualify European suppliers for the AMRAAM missile, a multinational move aimed at accelerating delivery timelines for the air-to-air system. The effort, backed by the U.S. government and NATO allies, seeks to bolster supply chain resilience amid rising global demand.
Michael P. Duffey, U.S. Department of War Under Secretary for Acquisition and Sustainment, noted that the project transforms allied commitments into immediate warfighting capability. Raytheon’s leadership emphasized that the initiative relies on shared investment from participating nations and a supportive policy framework from Washington. As the security environment evolves, additional countries are expected to join the collaboration to further stabilize production capacity and ensure the consistent supply of these advanced defensive assets.
