The missile is intended to engage land and maritime targets, giving allies a strike capability that reduces reliance on expensive legacy stockpiles. CoAspire described it as a mid-range maritime strike weapon and said its supplier network includes 56 first-tier companies across almost every state.
The selection is X-Bow’s seventh new propulsion program in 2026, with awards spanning the Navy, Army and Missile Defense Agency. The company recently completed its first major production contract, delivering more than 2,100 combat-ready rocket motors.
“Rebuilding the nation’s arsenal demands a fundamentally different industrial base,” said Jason Hundley, X-Bow’s founder and CEO. “Our digital-first manufacturing and proprietary Additive Manufacturing of Solid Propellant™ technology are built to deliver advanced, reliable systems at a cost and velocity the legacy industry can’t match.”
X-Bow uses proprietary additive manufacturing technology to produce solid rocket motors for missiles, interceptors and space launch vehicles. The company says that approach allows it to expand production while keeping costs down.
“CoAspire is thrilled to support the U.S. Navy with this much-needed, affordable, mid-range maritime strike weapon,” said Doug Denneny, CoAspire’s CEO, owner and founder. “We, and our 56 first-tier suppliers across almost every state, are excited to support PMX-201, NAVAIR, and our coalition partners with an affordable cruise missile solution.”
X-Bow said its revenue and backlog have more than doubled since 2023. The company is headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and operates manufacturing and test sites across the United States.
