Defense contractor Anduril Industries in Costa Mesa has purchased Adranos, a Mississippi-based manufacturer of solid rocket motors. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“There is a clear need for greater competition and expanded supply in solid rocket motors for the United States and our allies,” Anduril CEO Brian Schimpf said in a statement released by the two companies.
Through the acquisition, Anduril will become a supplier of solid rocket motors to prime contractors delivering missiles, hypersonics and other propulsion systems for some of the Defense Department’s most important programs.
The motors help fortify the U.S. military advantages over adversaries such as China, Russia, and Iran.
