X-Bow Systems Inc. (X-Bow), the nation's leading non-traditional small business producer of advance manufactured solid rocket motors (SRMs) and defense technologies announced that it has successfully completed the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) for the Large Solid Rocket Motor (LSRM) program on schedule. This is the second major technical review for the X-Bow program, demonstrating design maturity and reduced risk for critical technologies.
X-Bow's world-class team includes both known industry providers and non-traditional partners to establish a cost effective and increased domestic industrial base capacity. In March 2023, X-Bow finalized a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) agreement with Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division (NSWC IHD) that leverages their capabilities for future programs, including the LSRM program. LSRM partners include multiple domestic traditional and non-traditional small businesses employing highly skilled employees across four states, each offering cost reduction opportunities while expanding the SRM industrial base sources of supply.
