Description
The Department of Defense is seeking to develop new propulsion technology or test apparatus to support rocket sled test tracks used in critical national defense programs. The current solid Rocket Motors (SRMs) are aging, rapidly depleting, and have performance and reliability limitations. This project aims to enable continued track-based dynamic testing by addressing these propulsion challenges. The award amount for this project is $98,529,164.00, and the selected member is Aerojet.
