\"Avio<\/p>\n

Avio<\/strong> and Lockheed Martin<\/strong> have signed a non-binding term sheet to support the establishment of Avio USA\u2019s state-of-the-art solid rocket motor (SRM) facility in the United States, which expects to serve Lockheed Martin and other customers as a vertically integrated merchant supplier.<\/p>\n

Lockheed Martin will have preferred access to a portion of the Avio USA plant production capacity to meet future demand for its products while enhancing supply chain resilience to the US industrial base for both tactical and strategic size SRMs. The parties intend to negotiate a Strategic Cooperation Agreement in the near future to further align with the common goal of increasing the surety of supply for cost-effective propulsion systems.<\/p>\n
