Whiplash and Maelstrom solid motors
Solid rocket motors sold as a service: Whiplash for fast burns and Maelstrom for extended boost, aimed at tactical, target and test vehicles.
Why it matters
Hypersonic and missile-defense test programs need affordable boosters and targets. Evolution offers its motors as a service so test teams do not have to develop their own.
How the technology works
The company designs and casts solid propellant motors in tactical and extended-burn configurations and is building production and test capacity at NASA's Stennis Space Center.
