RTX and NATO have launched a multinational co-production initiative for AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles in Europe, shifting from U.S.-only manufacturing to shared European capacity. This expansion targets annual output of at least 1,900 missiles, addressing urgent air defense needs driven by heightened global security demands. Belgium emerges as the leading candidate for the new plant near Zutendaal, with FN Herstal leading component manufacturing and potential final assembly. The move frees U.S. factory space in Tucson, Huntsville, and Andover to ramp up domestic production of other missiles like Tomahawk. Participating allied nations include Belgium, Canada, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and the United Kingdom. A feasibility study was signed at the NATO Industry Forum in Ankara to formalize the European production plan, though the exact location and deal finalization timeline remain undetermined.
