Aerojet Rocketdyne’s Innovative Solid Rocket Motor Technology Advances DARPA’s OpFires Hypersonics Program
This successful test demonstrates Aerojet Rocketdynes advanced technological capabilities to ensure our warfighters maintain the advantage, said Eileen P. Drake, Aerojet Rocketdyne CEO and president.
- This successful test demonstrates Aerojet Rocketdynes advanced technological capabilities to ensure our warfighters maintain the advantage, said Eileen P. Drake, Aerojet Rocketdyne CEO and president.
- During the static test last month at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, the company demonstrated the variable-range technology that will enable OpFires to provide the military with intermediate-range missile capability.
- The solid rocket motor performed as expected through the duration of the static test, which was performed at sea level.
- Aerojet Rocketdyne, a leader in advanced hypersonic propulsion technology, provides scramjets and warheads in addition to solid rocket motor boosters.
