Lockheed Martin and German defence company Rheinmetall announce plans to produce ATACMS missiles in Europe for the first time. The companies say Rheinmetall will manufacture missiles designed by Lockheed Martin, marking a shift from prior production locations to manufacturing on the continent. The announcement is presented as a step toward expanding European missile production capacity using a US missile design. Details on contract value, production timeline, and delivery schedules are not provided in the information supplied from the outlets. The announcement is also framed as the debut of ATACMS production in Europe, with the two firms working together to bring the weapon system into Rheinmetall’s industrial base. No changes to the missile’s intended role or range are stated in the available summaries, and neither source includes additional policy context. Both outlets describe the move as a new manufacturing arrangement connecting Lockheed Martin’s design work with Rheinmetall’s production capabilities.
