“This is a strategic investment in the future of U.S. energetics and propulsion capacity. […] It will enable us to produce the advanced energetics needed to replenish the U.S. arsenal, restore stockpiles, and sustain any fight. We’re deeply grateful to Governor Stitt, Congressman Cole, Senator Mullin and the State of Oklahoma for their vision and support. Together, we’ll build infrastructure to turn innovation into combat-ready capability – rapidly, efficiently and with scale at its core.” […]
“Oklahoma is open for business, and today’s announcement proves it. […] By expanding solid and hybrid rocket motor production here in our state, we are doing our part to strengthen the nation’s defense forces and the shield of missile defense. This new facility, located near Fort Sill, the home of Army artillery, will leverage the most advanced additive manufacturing technology to propel the industry base into a new era. This effort is about securing our nation, creating high-tech jobs, and showing that Oklahoma stands ready to lead in building the capabilities that keep America safe.” […]
“Firehawk’s decision to establish its manufacturing operations in Lawton is a testament to our city’s growing reputation as a hub for innovation and advanced manufacturing.
