ICYMI: Ursa Major closed our $100M Series E. With this capital, we are continuing to scale up capabilities across hypersonic propulsion, solid rocket motor production and space mobility. "The company’s next challenge will be volume. Defense leaders have warned that the United States must rapidly expand production across the missile supply chain. Daniel Jablonsky said Ursa Major is preparing for that pressure. “We’ve got to scale that up into hundreds and 1000s of things that the military needs now.” Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/esTfnNKW

Ursa Major is proud to announce that we have has raised $100M in Series E funding, following a record-breaking year of more than $115M in bookings through Q3. This funding will accelerate our mission to deliver scalable hypersonics, solve the SRM shortfall for critical munitions, and enable sustained space mobility. Read more: https://lnkd.in/eaHzBkfF

As experts in propulsion, we knew there had to be a better way to solve the solid rocket motor shortfall in the United States, and so we made one. Our additively backed common modular manufacturing approach means we can produce multiple motor sizes on the same line, at lower cost and with consistent performance. And this isn’t just a concept -- we’ve proved it works. Ursa Major is actively producing SRMs at a rate of 200+ motors/year with four different diameter motors. It’s not just about new technology; this is revitalizing the defense industrial base to deliver capability quicker. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gi8-GRQ6
