The expansion is 26,000 square-foot and is expected to increase the facility's integration and delivery capacity by over 50%. The expansion will also grow the company's footprint in the state to more than 2,200 employees. The original Redstone Raytheon facility opened in 2012 and produces nine variants of the Standard Missile family and other advanced weapon systems. Raytheon also announced five landmark framework agreements with the U.S. Department of War to significantly increase production capacity and speed deliveries of critical munitions, with production under these agreements to be completed at Raytheon facilities in Tucson, Ariz., Huntsville, Ala., and Andover, Mass.
