Research abstract
Valley Tech Systems (VTS) has developed a new solid extinguishable maneuvering propulsion technology that has the potential to enhance the performance of future interceptors. Through application of our successful Phase II SBIR ultra-long duration hot-gas valve technology, advanced controllable solid propellant propulsion, materials, and control software, our new technology provides flexible on-demand divert pulses while delivering high-G and controllable thrust. Leveraging over a decade Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) developed technologies, the system further provides high-mass fraction, low-cost, and a high entrance Technology Readiness Level (TRL). During this Phase II SBIR program, VTS will continue the technology development through miniaturization of critical components. Approved for Public Release 19-MDA-10203 (4 Sep 19)
