General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GDOTS) has completed the first firing test of the US Army\u2019s 4.75-inch (12-centimeter) solid rocket motor, marking a significant milestone in advancing the service\u2019s long-range precision fires capabilities.<\/p>\n

Tested at GDOTS\u2019 Camden, Arkansas, facility, the engine delivered performance results within one percent of predicted values, according to the manufacturer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis successful test reflects the strong partnership between GDOTS and the US Army,\u201d senior vice president and general manager at GDOTS\u00a0Chris Haynes<\/b>\u00a0said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to help showcase multi-domain concepts, demonstrate advanced capabilities, and test future concepts for our warfighters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Part of wider efforts to advance future combat capabilities through close industry-military cooperation, the initiative aims to provide affordable precision massed fires and increase magazine depth for US forces.<\/p>\n

To Enhance Long-Range Capabilities<\/b><\/p>\n

Developed by the US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Aviation & Missile Center, the 4.75-inch form factor is designed to substantially increase the launcher\u2019s loadout capacity.<\/p>\n

GDOTS has not disclosed the enhancement\u2019s scope. However, a comparable\u00a0effort<\/a>\u00a0by Anduril is claimed to increase loadout capacity fivefold, enabling 30 guided rockets in a single\u00a0High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS)<\/a>\u00a0pod, up from the current six.<\/p>\n

The two efforts are intended to introduce new players to the rocket motor industry, which includes L3Harris\u2019 Aerojet Rocketdyne, Northrop Grumman, and Nammo.<\/p>\n

General Dynamics, Lockheed Partnership<\/b><\/p>\n

The US ramp-up in missile production since the start of the war in Ukraine has created a shortage of solid rocket motors.<\/p>\n

To help bridge the supply gap, GDOTS\u00a0partnered<\/a>\u00a0with Lockheed Martin in 2024 to produce the motors.<\/p>\n

The initial work is focused on producing motors for the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System( a HIMARS munition), followed by a phased transition to other products.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaintaining a robust and diverse supply chain for solid rocket motors is critical to advancing our 21st Century Security vision for a stronger, more resilient defense industrial base that keeps our customers around the globe ahead of emerging threats,\u201d president of Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control,\u00a0Tim Cahill<\/b>,\u00a0said in August 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis agreement enables Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics to ramp production of in-demand solutions more quickly going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
