Defense contractor Lockheed Martin is looking to nearly double its annual production of antitank Javelin missiles, though it could take"a couple of years" due to the weapons' helpfulness in Ukraine.
Jim Taiclet, Lockheed Martin's president and CEO, told CBS's Face the Nation on Sunday that the company currently produces roughly 2,100 Javelins per year but is hoping to ramp that up to approximately 4,000."Right now, our capacity is 2,100 Javelin missiles per year," he explained."We’re endeavoring to take that up to 4,000 per year. That could take a number of months, maybe even a couple of years, to get there because the supply chain needs to also crank up as we do.
