Safran Prepares to Significantly Increase Production of AASM Hammer Bombs

In an interview with La Tribune Sunday, Olivier Andriès, CEO of Safran, outlines the ramp-up of the AASM Hammer, the group's modular air-to-ground weapon. Production, which was around 200 units in 2022, is expected to reach about 1,400 units in 2026, with a future capacity of up to 2,000 units per year.

AASM Hammer Scales Up

Safran is accelerating its production of guided munitions. According to information reported by La Tribune from statements made by Olivier Andriès, the group plans a significant ramp-up of the AASM Hammer, its precision modular air-to-ground weapon. Production has increased from about 200 units in 2022 to an expected 1,000 in 2025, and then around 1,400 in 2026. In the coming years, Safran aims for an annual capacity of up to 2,000 guided bombs.

The AASM Hammer, marketed for export as Hammer, is a guided munition designed to strike targets at a distance with increased accuracy. Safran indicates that this family of weapons can achieve a range of over 70 kilometers depending on the configurations. It is particularly associated with the Rafale and Mirage 2000, and its use has become especially significant with the military support provided to Ukraine.

An Industrial Ramp-Up Already Underway

This acceleration implies a significant industrial scale-up. In the same interview, Olivier Andriès also announces an investment of 120 million euros in the Montluçon site, with the creation of over 150 jobs. The announcement particularly focuses on enhancing production capacities related to critical technologies, including hemispherical resonator gyroscopes, used in inertial navigation systems.
