The U.S. has ramped up its missile production to resupply its own stockpiles after providing weapons to Ukraine and to ensure it has enough to handle future contingencies that may demand the firepower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOngoing global conflicts have only underscored the urgency of increasing industry capacity,\u201d retired Army Lt. Gen. Neil Thurgood, Anduril Industries\u2019 senior vice president, wrote in a company blog post. \u201cSRMs are essential components of munitions and hypersonic weapons, making it critical to scale production and replenish this depleted resource.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this week, Army Futures Command Commander Gen. James Rainey said the service\u2019s exquisite and precise weapon systems are necessary to penetrate deep into enemy territory and go up against enemy air defenses, but there is also a need for \u201cboxes of rockets, cheap rockets, that we can fire in the hundreds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to air defense or offensive long-range fires, \u201cwe are seeing companies that are coming in at price points, the ability to scale. It\u2019s very promising and present,\u201d Rainey said at the McAleese and Associates\u2019 defense conference in Arlington, Virginia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnduril\u2019s solution will increase magazine capacity while maintaining the range, effectiveness, and lethality required on today\u2019s battlefield,\u201d Thurgood said in his post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 4.75-inch size \u201cpotentially\u201d allows for up to 30 guided rockets to be configured in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/2023\/03\/21\/how-the-war-in-ukraine-is-driving-growth-in-arkansas\/\" target=\"_blank\">single High Mobility Artillery Rocket System<\/a> pod, Thurgood said, \u201cdrastically improving the loadout within existing launcher constraints.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anduril \u201cis one of the first companies developing rocket motors in this form factor to meet the Army\u2019s need for increased volume and affordability,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company will build and test rocket motors using both traditional aluminized propellant and its \u201cadvanced ALITEC fuel,\u201d according to Thurgood. ALITEC improves munition range in a smaller package while using less power, he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe anticipate that ALITEC-powered SRMs will achieve ranges comparable to significantly larger rocket motors, providing long-range strike capability in a smaller and more efficient design,\u201d Thurgood writes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the company is using its recent $14.3 million Defense Production Act award to improve manufacturing methods, including \u201capplying single-piece-flow manufacturing, powered by bladeless high-speed mixer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company is also investing $74 million internally to produce large amounts of SRMs at a lower cost, Thurgood said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anduril Industries will develop and qualify a 4.75-inch solid rocket motor for long-range precision rocket
