More work for the General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products plant in Burlington.
The Burlington facility will perform systems engineering and program management for a $166 million U.S. Army contract to produce Hydra-70 rockets.
The unguided rockets can be fired from both attack helicopters and fighter jets.
General Dynamics officials say the missiles provide U.S. forces with effective firepower that is versatile, affordable and has proven extremely successful against area suppression-type targets.
Assembly will take place in the company’s Camden, Ark., plant.
