  • UNLEASHING HAVOC.   Today at #AFAColorado we announced the Ursa Major HAVOC Missile System — a hypersonic weapon built for affordable mass, rapid fielding, and scalable production to arm the United States with overmatch against adversaries.    If you're onsite at AFA Warfare Symposium come see it for yourself at booth #935.   Learn more at the press release linked in comments.

  • Next week we’re on the ground at the AFA Warfare Symposium as an exhibiting sponsor. Stop by Booth #935 to meet the team and talk about what’s shaping the future of defense. This Air & Space Forces Association event brings together leaders from across the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Space Force, and industry to tackle some of the most pressing challenges in modern joint warfare, from global readiness to next-generation capabilities. This is what our team is focused on every day, and we’re excited to exchange ideas, insights, and perspectives with the community and leaders that are driving mission success. #FlyFaster

    3 powerful leadership takeaways that have stayed with me. 👇   Leadership is not about a job title...   Or having all the answers...   1. It's about collaboration. 2. It's about driving forward momentum. 3. It's about saying YES before you feel 100% ready.   This advice came from 3 incredible leaders at Ursa Major.   All from totally different career backgrounds.   But all with an empowering, shared perspective on leadership.   It was wonderful to sit down with:   Katrina | Portfolio Director, Hypersonics Lauren | Director of Space Programs Growth Savannah | Head of Marketing & Comms   Together, they're on an important mission with Ursa Major.   Building high‑performance, American‑made aerospace and defense systems.   From hypersonics to solid missile systems & space mobility.   To close critical capability gaps for U.S. defense and space operations.   Their passion for growth & change is infectious.   Many of their thoughts have stayed with me.   And are shared in my latest article.   Read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/enqxYvbf   #WomeninDeepTech #SpaceSeries #Leadership #Innovation #WIDT

  • Ten years. Flight-proven. Built to scale. For the past decade, Ursa Major has focused on challenges that matter most to national security, like delivering propulsion that works repeatedly, affordably, and at scale. Today, we’re no longer proving if we can build engines. We’re proving we can build them again and again, faster each time, for missions that demand reliability and performance. ✔️ 100+ liquid engines built and hot-fired ✔️ 100,000+ seconds of test time ✔️ Hypersonic flight heritage ✔️ Surge-ready SRM manufacturing ✔️ A production architecture designed for scale 🔗 Read how we’re entering our second decade: flying faster, building smarter, and ready for the long haul. Full blog in the comments.

  • Additive manufacturing at Ursa Major is built to adapt and scale, without compromising quality.   We bring the same engineering discipline to our quality systems as we do to our product lines, applying advanced manufacturing and real-time validation at every step. With tightly connected design, test, and production teams, quality and quick iteration is embedded from day one. The result: American-made hypersonics and solid rocket motors delivered faster, with the performance our customers demand and the warfighter depends on. #FlyFaster

  • Earlier this week, Payload Pro came out with their list of in-space propulsion providers, but there's one more provider to add to that list - Ursa Major. Designed to scale, Ursa Major's hydrazine-based satellite propulsion system includes component parts like thrusters, tanks, and avionics. With critical backlogs of satellite propulsion systems across industry, Ursa Major's delivers unparalleled speed in the marketplace. Check us out at ursamajor.com/space

  • We’re excited to welcome two proven leaders to Ursa Major as we continue on our path to scale to full-rate production of mission-critical capabilities. Jason Meredith joins as President of Solid Missile Systems, bringing more than 20 years of aerospace and defense leadership across engineering, program execution, and business management. Jason most recently served as a Vice President at Northrop Grumman, with prior experience at Orbital ATK and Pratt & Whitney. Justin Siebert joins Ursa Major as Chief Operating Officer, adding deep operational expertise across aerospace, defense, and space sectors. A seasoned operations executive, Justin previously served as COO of ArmorWorks and held leadership roles at Firefly Aerospace, BAE Systems, Magellan Aerospace, and Honeywell Aerospace. Welcome to the #FlyFaster team! Full release in the comments.
