MFC programs
Missiles & Fire Control in Orlando builds some of the most widely used weapons systems in the U.S. arsenal:
- JASSM/JASSM-ER — Air-launched cruise missiles
- HIMARS/GMLRS — Rocket artillery (surging demand post-Ukraine)
- PAC-3 MSE — Patriot missile defense interceptors
- Javelin — Anti-tank missiles (production ramping up)
- Hellfire/JAGM — Precision strike missiles
Orlando offers a strong balance of LM salary + zero state tax + moderate housing costs. An E3 engineer earning $110K in Orlando takes home more than the same salary in Denver (4.4% state tax) or Sunnyvale (9.3% state tax), with significantly cheaper housing.
