Aerojet Rocketdyne, a subsidiary of L3Harris Technologies, and the Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division (NSWC IHD) have entered into a multi-year agreement aimed at bolstering the production of solid rocket motors for national defense programs.
The ten-year agreement establishes a public-private partnership with the U.S. Navy to address the escalating demand for solid rocket motors required for urgent national security needs. This partnership allows NSWC Indian Head to become a qualified partner with Aerojet Rocketdyne, enabling them to undertake specific 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.”
