Anduril Industries, America’s fastest-growing non-traditional merchant supplier of Solid Rocket Motors (SRM), has been awarded $14.3 million by the Department of Defense under Title III of the Defense Production Act (DPA) to expand the SRM industrial base. Strained munitions production underscored by recent global conflicts has led Congress and the Department of Defense to prioritize strengthening the SRM industrial base. This U.S. government investment is compounded by our $75 million investment to produce large volumes of SRMs at reduced costs.
At its facility in McHenry, Mississippi, Anduril is utilizing this DPA Title III investment to develop and qualify next-generation SRMs that demonstrate its innovative manufacturing technologies, like bladeless speed-mixing, single-piece flow, and advanced manufacturing technologies. This funding will also bolster Anduril’s existing work to design, build, and test second-stage rocket motors for programs of record and other large-scale weapons, including the U.S. Navy’s Standard Missile-6 (SM-6) program. This funding builds on Anduril’s initial $75 million private capital investment. This combination of private and public resources reflects a shared commitment to addressing America’s urgent need for scalable, high-performance rocket motor production, and it clearly establishes Anduril as the new entrant best positioned to deliver full-rate SRM production capacity on a rapid timeline.
For decades, the traditional SRM industry has struggled under the weight of outdated, manual, and analog processes. The resulting bottlenecks, cost overruns, and delays have hindered the development and deployment of a wide range of weapons systems upon which U.S. conventional deterrence relies. Through partnership with the Department of Defense, Anduril will continue to advance the future of scalable, high-quality SRM production that is necessary to rebuild the Arsenal of Democracy.
