About
X-Bow Systems is a non-traditional defense technology company that designs, builds, tests, and flies solid rocket motors (SRMs) for national security, defense, and space applications. The company is the leading non-traditional producer of solid rocket motors, offering both traditional SRMs and advanced additive manufacturing solutions. X-Bow's capabilities span the full spectrum of solid rocket motor technology through three core areas: We Make, applying advanced 21st-century manufacturing techniques including patented Additive Manufacturing of Solid Propellants (AMSP) and the world's first Rocket Factory in a Box, a portable production system; We Build, delivering fully customizable, low-cost solid rocket motors with unprecedented speed through innovative and efficient production techniques that enable accelerated timelines and lower costs; and We Fly, providing complete flight test services using the BOLT family of modular boost platforms, managing every stage from motors to launch with a seamless and efficient experience for partners. X-Bow holds CMMC Level 2 certification for cybersecurity and AS9100D/ISO 9001 certification for quality management, supporting the Department of Defense and defense industrial base in protecting critical information. The company's additive manufacturing approach enables on-demand production of solid propellants, revolutionizing the traditional SRM supply chain that has been constrained by limited production capacity and single-source dependencies. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, X-Bow Systems has raised $157.0M in Series B funding from investors including Razor's Edge Ventures, Lockheed Martin, Crosslink Capital, Boeing, Balerion Space Ventures, Broom Ventures, Bravo Victor Venture Capital, Upsher Management, Capital Factory, Event Horizon Capital, Arkenstone, and Ingenuity Venture Fund.
