Research abstract
The focus of this Sequential Phase II STRATFI effort is to further mature X-Bow into a viable supplier of solid rocket motors (SRM) with technology and a novel manufacturing approach to enable a variety of tactical SRMs. X-Bow will build upon the work from the previously awarded AFWERX Direct to Phase II RE-ARM effort that will mature propellant formulations, the solid propellant additive manufacturing system, and process flow to support advancing the overall field of AMSP for DoD applications. X-Bow’s STRATFI proposal includes a form factor 7” diameter solid rocket motor systems that will be static fired and flown.
