Aerojet Rocketdyne, an L3Harris Technologies company, and Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division (NSWC IHD) have signed a multi-year agreement to increase production for solid rocket motors for key national defence programs.
The ten-year agreement lays the foundation for an innovative public-private partnership with the U.S. Navy to meet the demand surge for solid rocket motors necessary to fulfil urgent national security needs, establishing a pathway for NSWC Indian Head to become a qualified partner with Aerojet Rocketdyne to perform certain motor manufacturing processes.
“This agreement offers a reliable supply chain solution to our nation’s solid rocket motor production needs,” said Ross Niebergall, President, Aerojet Rocketdyne. “Working in coordination with our government partners, we’re increasing our production capability to meet today’s growing demand and to prepare for any surge in support of near-peer conflicts.”
For more than 80 years, Aerojet Rocketdyne has provided trusted, innovative propulsion to the United States and its allies. From supporting America’s earliest solid-fueled strategic missiles to powering tactical and air defence missiles that protect the nation’s warfighters and allies today, Aerojet Rocketdyne has a strong legacy of proven solid rocket motor propulsion.
