X-Bow (pronounced “crossbow”) builds the solid rocket motors that power America's missiles, interceptors, and sub-orbital launch vehicles—and, through its AFRL-certified AMSP™ process and Rocket Factory in a Box (RFIB™), the manufacturing capacity to produce them at scale. As the nation rebuilds its stockpiles, we deliver affordable mass for the battlefield, combat-ready Rocket-Assisted Take-Off (RATO) motors fielded today, and propulsion for next-generation hypersonic and strategic programs.
Notably, we offer flight-demonstrated All-Up Round (AUR) capabilities with scalable propulsion architectures, led by BUCKLER™—our flight-tested, sub-$100K interceptor designed to defeat Group 3 drones and rotary-wing threats, with a clear path to scaling up larger, next-generation AUR variants. We are more than a defense supplier: our modular BOLT™ launch vehicle already flies sub-orbital missions and is Low Earth Orbit (LEO)-ready with the addition of a third stage—opening a fast, affordable path to space.
Backed by prominent aerospace and venture capital investors—including Crosslink Capital, Razor's Edge Ventures, Balerion Space Ventures, Boeing, Arkenstone Capital, The Capital Factory, Upsher Management Company, Event Horizon Capital, and Lockheed Martin Ventures—X-Bow is headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with a dedicated R&D facility in Socorro, NM, and additional presence in Texas, Mississippi, California, Alabama, Colorado, Utah, Maryland, and Washington, DC. X-Bow’s revenue and backlog have more than doubled in recent years, reflecting strong demand for its advanced propulsion solutions. For more information, visit www.XBowSystems.com.
