Automakers Return to Defense: GM Partners with Lockheed Martin, Renault Teams Up with Thales to Accelerate Missile and Drone Production
On June 16, General Motors (GM) and Lockheed Martin announced a partnership to scale up PAC-3 and THAAD interceptor missile production. The same day, France's Renault and Thales signed an agreement to jointly mass-produce the Toutatis loitering munition, targeting output of 1,000 units per month. Both deals echo WWII-era automotive-to-defense industrial pivots, and reflect the growing urgency of replenishing munitions stocks depleted by ongoing global conflicts.
