DECATUR, Alabama — There’re many sights you might expect to see when visiting a rocket factory: machinery, half-assembled pieces, maybe even a complete rocket if you’re lucky.

What might be unexpected are the golf carts that are the most common method of transportation here at the United Launch Alliance facility. Everywhere I look, engineers zoom from one end of the 1.6-million-square-foot building to the other, careful to steer around the silver rings and domes on the floor that will soon be parts of the first Vulcan Centaur, the rocket ULA is counting on to launch everything from small satellites to astronauts to low Earth orbit and beyond.

“We know Vulcan is our future,” Zeke Terry, a ULA project manager who’s heading Vulcan manufacturing, tells me as he ferries me around the facility where Vulcan will come to life.

That’s not the only work that goes on here, of course. The Decatur building has been home to both Boeing’s Delta and Lockheed Martin’s Atlas rockets since 2006, when the two companies’ launch divisions joined forces to create ULA, a separate entity that does national security launches for the U.S. military and the National Reconnaissance Office spy-satellite agency, as well as for NASA and NOAA. The facility has about 30 upper and lower stages in various phases of production for the next several Atlas and Delta launches, plus a completed Vulcan booster for structural testing.

We start our tour at the northeast corner of the factory, where the first pieces of hardware for Vulcan’s first flight are coming together. Terry shows me inch-thick sheets of aluminum that will be pressed by machines between two blunt knife edges and curved to form the outer shell of a Vulcan booster. Some still-flat sheets hang next to the machine, awaiting their turn in the press, indistinguishable from the sheets that will encase an Atlas booster except for the different pattern marking what will be the inside of the panels.

That similarity is intentional. The new design will have many of the same components as the Atlas V rockets in order to streamline production. ULA announced the Vulcans in 2015 and began manufacturing this year. The biggest overlap is the Centaur III upper stage on Atlas that is being enlarged to hold two engines instead of one.

“The objective for us was to take the best of both worlds from the two and make it into one,” Terry says. “Each one of those engineering designs went through an analysis to say what did we have, what is the best to give us the most efficient, cheapest vehicle that we can build to make sure that we can launch on time, a 100% mission success and be competitive.”

Vulcan is on track for its 2021 debut, ULA CEO Tory Bruno told me last week at AIAA’s Propulsion and Energy Forum in Indianapolis, and the company is “confident to go directly to real missions with real customers on our first flights.”

ULA announced earlier this month that Vulcan’s first flight will be launching the Peregrine lunar lander from Astrobotic, one of two companies NASA has tasked with sending robotic landers to the moon ahead of the 2024 landing under the Commercial Lunar Payloads Services program, or CLPS . The second flight is scheduled for later that year with the first of six cargo resupply missions with Sierra Nevada Corp.’s Dream Chaser vehicle to the International Space Station.

But before production on the Vulcans that will launch those missions can begin in earnest, the rocket’s main components must be tested. Terry lays out the timeline as we zoom back to the entrance of the production floor: Testing with the structural test booster will begin in September, and two test articles of the Centaur upper stage are next in line. They will be sent to NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville in 2020.

Once that’s done, “we’re focused on the first flight and making sure we have a vehicle to fly,” Terry says.

FORT WORTH, TEXAS (Nov. 03, 2022) – F-35 Joint Program Executive Officer (PEO) Lt. Gen. Michael Schmidt addresses a crowd of workers from the F-35’s Final Assembly and Check-Out team at Lockheed Martin’s Air Force Plant 4 in Fort Worth, Texas, Nov. 03, 2022. This was Schmidt’s first visit to the facility since having assumed the duties of F-35 PEO. The F-35 Joint Program Office is the Department of Defense's focal point for the 5th generation strike aircraft for the Navy, Air Force, Marines, and our allies. The F-35 is the premier multi-mission, 5th-generation weapon system. Its ability to collect, analyze and share data is a force multiplier that enhances all assets in the battle-space: with stealth technology, advanced sensors, weapons capacity, and range. The F-35, which has been operational since July 2015, is the most lethal, survivable, and interoperable fighter aircraft ever built.

WATCH: Biden visits Lockheed Martin plant as weapons stockpile grows strained by Ukraine conflict

TROY, Ala. (AP) — President Joe Biden on Tuesday credited the assembly line workers at a Javelin missile plant for doing lifesaving work in building the antitank weapons that are being sent to Ukraine to stifle Russia’s invasion as he made a pitch for Congress to approve $33 billion so the U.S. can continue to hustle aid to the front lines.

Watch Biden’s remarks in the player above.

“You’re allowing the Ukrainians to defend themselves,” Biden told the workers, his podium flanked by Javelin missile launchers and shipping containers. “And, quite frankly, they’re making fools of the Russian military in many instances.”

The president toured the Lockheed Martin factory in Alabama and said Ukrainian parents are naming their children “Javelin” or “Javelina” because of the weapons’ successes.

“Every worker in this facility and every American taxpayer is directly contributing to the case for freedom,” Biden said.

The president’s visit also drew attention to a growing concern as the war drags on: Can the U.S. sustain the cadence in shipping vast amounts of arms to Ukraine  while maintaining a healthy stockpile it may need if conflict erupts with North Korea, Iran or elsewhere?

The U.S. has provided at least 7,000 Javelins, including some transferred during the Trump administration, or about one-third of its stockpile, to Ukraine in recent years, according to an analysis by Mark Cancian, a senior adviser with the Center for Strategic and International Studies international security program. The Biden administration says it has committed to sending 5,500 Javelins to Ukraine since the Feb. 24 invasion.

Analysts also estimate that the United States has sent about one-quarter of its stockpile of shoulder-fired Stinger missiles to Ukraine. Raytheon Technologies CEO Greg Hayes told investors last week during a quarterly call that his company, which makes the weapons system, wouldn’t be able to ramp up production until next year, due to parts shortages.

WATCH: Biden says overturning Roe would be a ‘radical,’ ‘fundamental shift’ for the country

“Could this be a problem? The short answer is, ‘Probably, yes,’” said Cancian, a retired Marine colonel and former Office of Management and Budget specialist on Pentagon budget strategy, war funding and procurement programs.

He added that Stingers and Javelins were where “we’re seeing the most significant inventory issues” and that production of both weapons systems has been limited in recent years.

The Russian invasion offers the U.S. and European defense industry a big opportunity to bolster profits as lawmakers from Washington to Warsaw are primed to increase defense spending in response to Russian aggression. Defense contractors, however, face the same supply chain and labor shortage challenges that other manufacturers are facing, along with some others that are specific to the industry.

Biden noted that each Javelin produced requires 200 computer chips, but semiconductors are in short supply and limiting the availability of everything from autos to kitchen appliances. Biden is urging that legislation be approved to fund the manufacturing of computer chips in the U.S., though that is a longer-term fix to immediate pressures that militaries, businesses and consumers face now.

The war will mean increased sales for some defense contractors, including Raytheon, which makes the Stinger missiles that Ukrainian troops have used to knock out Russian aircraft. The company is also part of a joint venture with Lockheed Martin that makes the Javelins.

WATCH: U.S. acting ambassador to Ukraine on the return of diplomats and the state of the war

Lockheed Martin’s facility in Troy, Alabama has the capacity to manufacture about 2,100 Javelins per year. Biden’s trip overlapped with his push for an additional $33 billion in security and economic assistance for Kyiv. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Monday he hoped quick bipartisan agreement on the security package could be reached so the Senate could begin considering it “as early as next week.”

Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said Monday that America’s military readiness is not dependent on one system. He said that every time the Pentagon develops a package of weapons and systems to send to Ukraine , the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the department do an assessment on what the impact will be on readiness.

“It’s not about counting, say, Javelins and being able to say that when you reach a certain level then all your readiness is gone,” Kirby said. “The Javelin is an anti-armor capability, so we judge it all as a conglomerate of what’s our ability to meet this particular mission set, realizing that a Javelin isn’t the only capability you have against armor.”

The lightweight but lethal Javelin has helped the Ukrainians inflict major damage on Russia’s larger and better-equipped military. As a result, the weapon has gained almost mythic regard, celebrated with a Javelin song and images of Mary Magdalene carrying a Javelin becoming a meme in Ukraine.

Lockheed Martin CEO James Taiclet said in a recent CNBC interview that demand for the Javelin and other weapon systems would increase broadly over time because of the Russian invasion. He said the company was working “to get our supply chain ramped up.”

“We have the ability to meet current production demands, are investing in increased capacity and are exploring ways to further increase production as needed,” Lockheed Martin, which is based in Bethesda, Maryland, said in a statement.

Lockheed martin opens $18 million alabama engineering center.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama — Defense contractor Lockheed Martin on Thursday marked the opening of the company’s new $18 million engineering facility, labs and demonstration center in Huntsville, reinforcing its already large presence in Alabama.

Bethesda, Maryland-based Lockheed Martin said the 122,000-square-foot facility provides space for 500 employees who will advance national security capabilities and drive innovation in North Alabama.

“The crucial work being done here by our customers, our company, and our industry partners has made Alabama a key 21st-century, high-tech defense and deterrence provider that’s ramping up to ensure our troops will stay ahead of accelerating threats across every domain — land, sea, air, space, and cyber,” said Stephanie C. Hill, Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems president.

Governor Kay Ivey joined Lockheed Martin leaders, U.S. Department of Defense representatives and state and local officials at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new facility on Thursday.

“Alabama is proud to support our military and defense sectors, and Lockheed Martin’s presence in our state plays a crucial role in advancing national security, ensuring that our nation remains at the forefront of technological advancement,” Governor Ivey said.

“Lockheed Martin’s continued investment in Alabama is a testament to the strength of our workforce and the strategic importance of Huntsville in shaping the future of defense,” she added.

ALABAMA FOOTRPRINT

With the opening of this facility, Lockheed Martin’s footprint in Alabama expands to 30 work sites in the state employing over   3,300 people.

Besides Huntsville, Lockheed Martin also has a significant presence in Pike County, where it operates a missile assembly facility and a Sikorsky aircraft manufacturing site, and in Lawrence County, where it has a “digital” factory focusing on hypersonic technologies.

“Each Lockheed site, here in our state, reflects a dedication to excellence and mission success that we deeply appreciate,” Governor Ivey said. “Lockheed, thank you for continuing to choose Alabama as your partner in such important work.”

Work performed at the new engineering facility supports a 60-year legacy of Lockheed Martin customer partnerships in Huntsville supporting all domains air, space, land, sea and cyber.

Teams in the new facility will advance Lockheed Martin’s 21st Century Security efforts including:

• Readiness and sustainment for the U.S. Army’s  Black Hawk helicopter , including the current Multi-Year X contract with production, Foreign Military Sales and all upgrades to the aircraft.
• The team is working toward a Multi-Year XI contract opportunity that will result in a modernized Black Hawk featuring more range, payload and networked connectivity to ensure the Black Hawk of tomorrow stays ahead of the threat.
• Missile Defense Agency Command and Control, Battle Management and Communications ( C2BMC ) system. C2BMC is a layered missile defense system providing commanders the ability to make synchronized decisions about threats at any range, in any phase of flight, from any location in the world.
• Modeling and Simulation Contract – Framework and Tools program, supporting the modeling and simulation framework for the Ballistic Missile Defense System.

The site will further enhance the company’s 1LMX digital transformation that drives efficiencies, connecting and optimizing engineering tools to enable Lockheed Martin’s workforce to deliver critical capabilities with more agility

A new Lockheed Martin Rotary Wing Innovation Center, equipped with a modernized Sikorsky Black Hawk mission simulator and next-generation capability simulation tools, will offer the Army an interactive view into the future of the Black Hawk and capabilities for the enduring fleet.

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Governor Ivey experienced the flight simulator — and was presented with wings for what she described as her “first day as a pilot.”

Lockheed Martin said the Innovation Center will be a meeting place for key stakeholders across the military, government, and industry to chart a path forward for Army aviation for decades to come.

Additional Lockheed Martin programs in Huntsville include the  Long Range Hypersonic Weapon ,   Next Generation Interceptor ,  Javelin Weapon System , and   Terminal High Altitude Area Defense .

A Visit to See the King

Sikorsky is ramping up production of the new  CH-53K King Stallion heavy-lift helicopter and two special guests paid a visit to Stratford, Connecticut, to check on the digital manufacturing process.

Gen. David Berger, commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps and Jim Taiclet, chairman, president and CEO of Lockheed Martin, both made their first visits to Sikorsky’s primary manufacturing facility recently to see how Sikorsky is using Digital Transformation to build 200 King Stallions for the Marines.

Berger walked along the final assembly line to see four CH-53K production aircraft in various stages of build. He popped into a cockpit, explored the cabin, learned about the digital-build process, and got up close to a 400-pound CH-53K rotor blade.

He spent time learning about the CH-53K’s superior maintainability and reliability. He also saw firsthand several of the new components and design elements that significantly improve readiness and availability on the flight line, while reducing the maintenance burden for Marines.

Berger met with Sikorsky employees, many of whom were Marine veterans who are now supporting the build of the CH-53K. He gave each Sikorsky Marine veteran the commandant’s coin, thanking them for their dedication to the CH-53E and CH-53K mission.

“What you are building now can do so much more than what we are able to do today. What you do matters,” said Berger. “What you do makes a difference. You put your heart and soul into producing what the Marine Corps needs.”

Marine veteran and 43-year Sikorsky employee William Burr received one of those coins. Burr joined the Marine Corps in 1967 and did two tours in Vietnam before coming to Sikorsky in 1978. Today he works on the main blades for the CH-53K.

Jim Taiclet also had high praise for the Sikorsky team.

“The fact that the commandant took time to come up here to Stratford shows that the CH-53K is one of the highest priority programs for the Marine Corps,” Jim said. “I was proud to have him here to see that we are giving the CH-53K program the same level of focus and urgency that he has placed on it.”

Berger closed his visit reflecting that it exceeded his expectations. He added that he is counting on Sikorsky to deliver the first production aircraft of both the CH-53K and VH-92A Presidential Helicopter this year and looks forward to visiting Sikorsky again. After Berger’s departure, Jim continued his tour, visiting more of the Stratford facility and making a stop at Igor Sikorsky’s office.

Jim also got a glimpse of the future, learning about recent innovations such as X2 technology and its benefits to the Army, such as maneuverability, survivability, and lower complexity.

In the virtual reality (VR) lab, Jim put on a headset and glasses to participate in a VR simulation where he “installed” bolts on a CH-53K with a torque wrench. The demonstration allowed Jim to experience one of the many Digital Transformation tools and technology that Sikorsky employees utilize daily across aircraft lifecycle.

Jim left Sikorsky with a greater appreciation for Sikorsky, its people, and products.
