ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., May 6, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- X-Bow Systems Inc (X-Bow) has completed the System
Requirements Review (SRR) for the Large Solid Rocket Motor (LSRM)
program on schedule. This is the first major technical review for
the X-Bow program. The X-Bow team is now proceeding with
preliminary design, critical component qualification activities,
and material procurement.
"Affordable weapon systems are crucial for ensuring accessible
defense capabilities. Achieving this milestone signifies X-Bow's
commitment of innovation, paired with shortened design and
development timelines, and a focus on affordability," stated
Tony Spidale, X-Bow LSRM Program
Director. "This accomplishment underscores the teamwork of our
industry partners and collaboration with the US Navy and US Army to
provide much needed resources to the warfighter."
J Petrie, contract support to the Department of Defense's
Innovation Capability and Modernization office which funds X-Bow's
LSRM effort, closed the SRR by summarizing the importance of this
engineering milestone and the LSRM program. "Your collaboration and
uniting of experts from multiple organizations is not just a
remarkable achievement in engineering, but a critical contribution
to our nation's security."
X-Bow's world-class team includes both known industry providers
and non-traditional partners to establish a cost effective and
increased domestic industrial base capacity. In March 2023, X-Bow finalized a Public-Private
Partnership (PPP) agreement with Naval Surface Warfare Center
Indian Head Division (NSWC IHD) that leverages their capabilities
for future programs, including the LSRM program. Other key LSRM
partners include Leidos Dynetics, Karman
Space & Defense, and multiple domestic non-traditional
small businesses employing over 200 highly skilled employees across
four states, each offering cost reduction opportunities while
