Speeding up missile production by a factor of 1000

Faster Production

Illustration of fast rocket production

The Problem: APCP propellants take days – weeks to cure. Double base propellants take days to cure.
Missile production is bottlenecked by the time consuming solid rocket motor production process.

The Solution: EA Tech’s proprietary binders cure within seconds – minutes under the right conditions.
Implications: Faster rocket motor production; clearing order backlogs, improved deterrence.

Higher Performance

Rocket with enhanced range and payload

The Problem: Solid rocket propellant performance is plateauing. Greater range or payloads are desired.
The Solution: EA Tech’s proprietary binders are energetic too, thereby improving overall energetics.
Implications: Longer range or greater payloads, or low visibility smoke due to near zero oxygen balance.

In-situ, On Demand Production

3D printing solid rocket propellant in the field

The Problem: Existing production techniques are slow, inflexible and require large facilities.

The Solution: EA Tech’s proprietary binders enable propellants and explosives to be 3D printed in situ, on demand. For larger volumes, other production techniques are possible, such as cast-and-cure and continuous extrusion.

Implications:

  • In-theater production of munitions by expeditionary forces.
  • A decentralized, resilient supply chain.
  • Longer storage lifespans by only producing materiel when needed.
  • More insensitive munitions.
