Machina wins Lockheed Martin qualification contract for JASSM assembly

Jul 15, 2026 · Contract Award · Machina Labs · Industrial

Lockheed Martin awarded Machina a qualification contract for a RoboFormed assembly supporting the JASSM programme, with production targeted through Machina Factory 3.

  • The assembly is the first product from a Machina Factory to enter qualification for a defence missile system.
  • Machina produced it in Los Angeles using RoboForming and precision laser welding.
  • Factory 3 is under development as a 200,000-square-foot site designed for up to 50 RoboCraftsman cells and high-rate defence production.

Machina Labs builds and operates software-defined factories for production-grade metal structures used in defence, aerospace and advanced mobility. Its RoboCraftsman cells combine seven-axis robotics, autonomous material handling and closed-loop AI controls to form, scan, trim, drill and increasingly join large sheet-metal parts without geometry-specific tooling. The company is headquartered in Los Angeles.
