Technology & Products
Key Products
Traditional Solid Rocket Motors (SRMs), patented Additive Manufactured Solid Propellants (AMSP), and the "Rocket Factory in a Box™" for rapid production.
Technological Advantage
Eliminates the need for expensive, long-lead tooling and large-scale casting facilities; enables 'tactical manufacturing' where motors can be printed and assembled in field conditions.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces the cost and lead times of solid rocket motors by replacing traditional casting with 3D-printed energetics, enabling rapid customization and tactical field-responsiveness.
How They Differentiate
Proprietary Additive Manufacturing of Solid Propellant (AMSP) technology that eliminates long-lead tooling and traditional casting, enabling rapid customization and tactical field-responsiveness.
