  Supergravities with gauged R-symmetry and Minkowski vacua allow for
spontaneous supersymmetry breaking and, as such, provide a framework for
building supergravity models of phenomenological relevance. In this letter we
initiate the study of double-copy constructions for these supergravities. We
argue that, on general grounds, we expect their scattering amplitudes to be
described by a double copy of the type: (Higgsed gauge theory) x (gauge theory
with broken SUSY). We present a simple realization in which the resulting
supergravity has U(1)_R gauge symmetry, spontaneously-broken N=2 supersymmetry,
and massive gravitini. This is the first instance of a double-copy construction
of a gauged supergravity and of a theory with spontaneously-broken
supersymmetry. The construction extends in a straightforward manner to a large
family of gauged Yang-Mills-Einstein supergravity theories with or without
spontaneous gauge-symmetry breaking.
