EVOLUTION  IN PROGRESS

OUR MISSION

Leading the Future of Defense-Ready Solid Rocket Motors

Behind every what is a why. If there's anything we believe in more strongly than the potential of solid propulsion, it's the innovation - and freedom to do it - that lies beneath. Whether it's equipping our armed forces abroad or fueling private-sector progress back home, our approach all traces back to one word: culture. Self reliance, innovation, fearlessness, integrity, and adaptability are what we stand for and what the industry requires. We hope you'll see it in our products and in the way we conduct business.
