US EditionLockheed Martin said it is quadrupling munitions production
- At the White House on Friday, President Donald Trump announced CEOs agreed to quadruple production of the 'Exquisite Class' weaponry.
- Amid the first full week of the Iran war, the White House faced scrutiny over low munitions supplies, but Karoline Leavitt, White House Press Secretary, said the meeting was scheduled weeks ago.
- According to Trump, CEOs from BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, RTX, Boeing, Honeywell Aerospace, L3Harris Technologies' Missile Solutions, and U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth attended, and `Expansion began three months prior to the meeting, and Plants and Production of many of these Weapons are already under way`.
- In immediate terms, the White House framed the effort as addressing supply gaps, linking increased production to sustaining operations such as `Operation Epic Fury` and to report shortfalls.
- The 'Exquisite Class' weaponry label was left undefined by Trump, with the defense industry usage describing it as a one-of-a-kind technology, even as production expands.
