Meanwhile, the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have used up thousands of missiles, depleting the stockpiles of the U.S. and its allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Missile makers and their suppliers have been looking to grow and diversify production in response, expanding existing capacity or adding entire production lines for rocket motors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raytheon is supporting current suppliers, which for many of the programs overseen by Borgonovi is Aerojet Rocketdyne, owned by L3Harris. The executive said Aerojet has been investing and had \u201ca great start in 2025,\u201d supplying as many primary rocket motors by May this year as in all of 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second part of Raytheon\u2019s rocket-motor strategy is to expand business with a number of existing successful partners, Borgonovi said. The company relies on Norway\u2019s Nammo for the rocket motors that power the AMRAAM air-to-air missile and the Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile, or ESSM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rocket motors are not a constraint for AMRAAM production, with a \u201cvery healthy\u201d supply chain, said Sam Deneke, the company\u2019s president of air &amp; space defense systems. For ESSM, Nammo \u201cdo an incredible job supporting us on that program, not constrained there either,\u201d Borgonovi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo we are looking at extending our sources of supply for many of our programs to established providers,\u201d Borgonovi said. Both Nammo as well as Italy\u2019s Avio, another Raytheon supplier, are establishing U.S. manufacturing sites that will produce rocket motors for U.S. programs, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. Government Accountability Office in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gao.gov\/assets\/gao-18-45.pdf\" rel=\"\"><u>2017 report<\/u><\/a> noted that over two decades, the number of U.S. solid rocket motor manufacturers consolidated to two from six, with the number of suppliers also falling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, in the Red Sea alone, the U.S. Navy and allied navies fired off hundreds of missiles to counter Houthi attacks against shipping since October 2023, while allies have provided Ukraine with thousands of missiles and rockets as it fends of Russia\u2019s invasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have to be able to ensure that we deliver when it\u2019s needed to the fleet,\u201d Borgonovi said. \u201cSo lots of usage, we need to not just replace but we need to scale for the future because of future conflicts, future demand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company is also looking to partners such as Ursa Major and Anduril for new technology and innovative manufacturing and design methods, according to Borgonovi. Raytheon and Ursa Major in December successfully tested a long-range solid rocket motor for the U.S. Army, using additive manufacturing to cut production costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not just about the constraint for demand today, it\u2019s very much more about the increased demand we see in the
