Two companies commit to deliver sovereign manufacturing capability in Australia for the Long Range Anti-Ship Missile – Surface Launch.
Lockheed Martin and Thales Australia announced on 22 April that they have finalised a teaming agreement to develop sovereign weapons manufacturing capabilities in Australia.
A notable feature of the agreement is a commitment to deliver an Australian guided weapons manufacturing capability to support a sovereign national guided weapons enterprise.
This capability will be derived from the Lockheed Martin Long Range Anti-Ship Missile – Surface Launch (LRASM SL) ‘with a specific focus on booster and rocket motor technologies’, the two companies stated.
