Hypersonic Scramjet Propulsion Technology

Scramjet technology ushers in a new era for faster, more survivable, highly capable weapons. Not only does scramjet propulsion advance speeds greater than Mach 5 and maneuverability never seen before in traditional missiles, but it also leads to a smaller form factor missile while offering more capability. This means platforms can carry more weapons in less space.

GEM Solid Rocket Motor Manufacturing

Measuring more than 72-feet-long, the GEM 63XL is the longest monolithic, single-cast solid rocket motor ever produced — a designation previously held by the GEM 63.

SMART DEMO

Northrop Grumman’s Solid Motor Annual Rocket Technology Demonstrator (SMART Demo) is an annual effort to design, develop, build and test a new solid rocket motor and its associated tooling.
