The program centered on the design and successful static firing of an HLG 10-inch prototype. Beyond the hardware, Ursa Major developed a proprietary propellant and refined its "Lynx" manufacturing process. By utilizing Highly Loaded Grain and emphasizing subsystem commonality, the company aims to slash tooling costs and production lead times for future naval hardware.
CEO Chris Spagnoletti described the partnership as a blueprint for scaling defense production at speed. The initiative involved deep integration with the Naval Air Weapons Center at China Lake and the Naval Surface Warfare Center at Indian Head to ensure the resulting architecture meets specific operational requirements. Having completed this pathfinder phase, the Colorado-based firm is now positioned to ramp up production to meet the Navy's broader demand for missile and rocket propulsion systems.
