Ursa Major Live Fires Small Diameter SRMs with HLG

Ursa Major recently completed several successful live fire flight tests of a small diameter, tactical solid rocket motor using highly loaded grain. This internally funded test campaign comes after more than 20 static fires of the motor, burning down program risk and saving taxpayer dollars. These motors extend range and enhance performance, keeping the warfighter further out of harm’s way. Warfighters need reliable, high-performance solid rocket motors that can be delivered quickly and at scale.  In the last two years, Ursa Major has invested more than $40M into SRM production to deliver exactly that.

“The demand for solid rocket motors with increased performance is real; this is a capability our warfighters need to meet the mission demand and we’re proving we can provide it,” said Jason Meredith, President of Solid Missile Systems at Ursa Major. “These live fires meet simultaneous calls for reliable second sources of SRMs, innovative capabilities and production, and private companies to present capabilities with their own capital.”
