Major Capital Program Management for Multi-Site Capacity Expansion

Extremely specific capital investment details cited: $3.1B CapEx for 2026, named facilities (Tucson, Huntsville, Andover, Columbus, Asheville, Richardson, Spokane, Camden), specific programs (Tomahawk, standard missile, GTF, F135, SAOC). The investment is concrete and committed.

Large A&D companies often have internal PMO capabilities for capital projects. However, the simultaneous execution of 8+ major facility expansions across three segments in a single year often exceeds internal capacity and drives demand for external program management support.

CapEx execution directly enables backlog conversion and production ramp. Poor execution would jeopardize the $92-93B 2026 revenue target and government relationships. However, this is support work, not transformational strategy.

The $3.1B CapEx is budgeted and planned for 2026. Projects are already underway or initiating. The casting foundry at Asheville is in 'build up phase.' This work is happening now.

Explicit: $3.1B in CapEx for 2026, up $500M from 2025. Specific facility-level investments named. This is the strongest budget signal across all leads — concrete dollars committed to specific projects.

Capital program management is offered by firms like Bechtel, Jacobs, and Big 4 advisory practices. The A&D-specific nature and security requirements narrow the competitive field but it's a well-established service offering.

Program management fees on $3.1B in capital projects could range from $8M-$20M depending on scope. If advisory extends to government co-investment structuring, the value increases.
