X-Bow Systems Awarded Production Contract to Supply Critical Rocket Motor Igniters to V2X

https://prn.to/48jgGvO\r\n\r\nX-Bow announced it has been awarded a production contract from V2X to develop and produce next-generation igniters for solid rocket motors. The contract, with an anticipated total value of over $8.9 million, positions X-Bow as a key partner in strengthening the nation's industrial base for rocket propulsion systems components, supporting a critical modernization effort for Arm/Fire Devices.\r\n\r\nThe new igniter will be a form-and-fit replacement for the MK-290, a key component used in many of today's solid rocket motor programs. The MK-290 igniter is a critical component used in numerous proven systems vital to national defense. X-Bow's work under this contract aims to address obsolescence and supply chain challenges, ensuring a reliable production source for these critical components. The project includes the development, testing, and qualification of the new igniters prior to production.
