Lockheed Martin to pay nearly $30M to settle claims of discrimination against White workers
The federal government alleged that HR personnel “exerted pressure on leaders” to remove nonminority employees initially selected for a compensation program and add minority workers.
Lockheed Martin is set to invest $420 million to expand its manufacturing operations in Camden, Arkansas, according to a November 2 announcement. The company aims to boost production for missile platforms and defense systems, creating 650 new full-time positions over the next five years. This will augment the 1,100 workers currently employed at the Camden facility.
Lockheed Martin Camden site general manager Adam Bailey noted that the company is expanding manufacturing capacity at an "unprecedented speed and scale" to provide critical capabilities for warfighters more swiftly. Established in 1979, the Camden facility spans 2.2 million square feet and sits on 2,427 acres in the Highland Industrial Park.
Over its four-decade history, it has produced more than 700,000 missiles and rockets. In January 2026, Lockheed Martin broke ground on a new Camden site to quadruple the annual production of Terminal High Altitude Area defense missile interceptors from 96 to 400 units. Additionally, the company plans to invest $300 million to enlarge its advanced munitions manufacturing capacity at its Grand Prairie facility in Texas.
