BAE Systems will “surge” production of its Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) to 25,000 annually for the Defense Department under a new agreement that also creates a path to further increase production to 35,000 units per year to meet international demand. The seven-year framework agreement calls for BAE to begin ramping up production of the laser guidance kits while negotiating a multi-year contract with DoD, the company said on Monday.
