DoW's new framework with Northrop Grumman (O-ATK) follows a similar deal with L3Harris aimed at ramping up production of the dual-pulse solid rocket motor used in the PAC-3 MSE.
With NG onboarded, the program would have two SRM sources, which makes scaling to 2,000 MSE missiles a year a lot easier.
