The Pentagon has awarded BAE Systems Information and Electronic Warfare Systems a $1.743 billion contract to deliver up to 55,000 Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System II (APKWS II) rockets. Covering production Lots 13–17, the deal secures guided rockets for the U.S. Navy, Army, and foreign partners until 2031. This large-scale order reflects the U.S. military’s intent to expand its arsenal of precision strike munitions at cost-effective rates while ensuring long-term supply chain continuity.
