Raytheon and Northrop Grumman have secured a phase two DARPA contract to advance a new solid rocket motor design that allows adjustable thrust and multiple mission uses. This innovation aims to overcome production bottlenecks by enabling composable, scalable missile propulsion, enhancing flexibility across weapon systems. The teams will mature and demonstrate the technology in realistic conditions, supporting faster and more adaptable missile manufacturing. This effort aligns with DARPA's goal to improve missile development speed, reduce costs, and expand mission capabilities.
Raytheon successfully demonstrated its Next Generation Short Range Interceptor (NGSRI), designed to replace the Stinger missile for the U.S. Army. The demo showed the missile's improved range, precision, and lethality, using advanced optics and a new...
