U.S. Department of War APKWS production framework agreement

BAE Systems and the U.S. Department of War signed a framework agreement covering up to seven years of multi-year procurement and a production-capacity increase for APKWS laser-guidance kits to as many as 35,000 units annually.

The signed framework establishes the path for BAE Systems to expand output while it negotiates a multi-year procurement contract. The kits, produced in New Hampshire and Texas, convert unguided 2.75-inch rockets into precision-guided munitions for U.S. and allied forces.
