Aerojet Rocketdyne played a major role in developing the X-51 hypersonic test vehicle, seen here ready for launch from the wing of a B-52 bomber.
Lockheed Martin, one of America’s most trusted defense companies, recently declared its intent to purchase and merge with Aerojet Rocketdyne, the nation’s last sole provider of solid rocket motors. This proposed plan is currently under review by the Department of Defense and the Federal Trade Commission. Rather than simply accept it as a
fait accompli, decision makers must look at the dangerous consequences for our industrial base from such a deal. If approved, competition within the US missile defense industry, hypersonics in particular, would cease to exist.
