Aerojet Rocketdyne Accelerates GMLRS Rocket Motor Manufacturing Efficiency
Aerojet Rocketdyne persistently enhances its methodologies to supply cutting-edge solid rocket engines to Lockheed Martin for the Army’s Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS).
The firm is actively modernizing its production facilities, acquiring advanced equipment, and automating workflows to accommodate anticipated increases in capacity, including the integration of automated X-ray technology to boost manufacturing efficiency and expand output.
“Aerojet Rocketdyne has fueled Guided Multiple Launch Rocket Systems for many years, providing over 35,000 solid rocket engines to support U.S. and allied forces in various conflicts,” stated Eileen P. Drake, CEO and president of Aerojet Rocketdyne. “We are persistently automating our processes and upgrading our facilities to ensure production capabilities today and in the future.”
Besides manufacturing the composite-case engines for the GMLRS Insensitive Munitions Propulsion System variant, Aerojet Rocketdyne is the exclusive producer of the steel-case solid rocket engines for the GMLRS variant utilized by many of our allies. The GMLRS has proven to be highly effective for Ukrainian forces in their battle to safeguard their homeland.
Aerojet Rocketdyne stands as the singular entity that produces both composite-case and steel-case solid rocket engines for the GMLRS.
Aerojet Rocketdyne has been a reliable supplier of GMLRS rocket engines for numerous years, and our process enhancements will continue to empower us to fulfill our customers’ requirements.
“We are committed to collaborating closely with Lockheed Martin and the Army to address the future needs of our defenders,” Drake affirmed.
