The Solid Liquid Integrated Cycle (SLICE) rocket engine uses a solid propellant gas generator for the fuel and a liquid oxidizer. The propellants are combusted in an array of small thrusters with the exhaust expanded on an aerospike nozzle. (more…)

Exquadrum’s mission on the DARPA Operational Fires (OpFires) program was to develop and demonstrate a highly innovative rocket booster to launch hypersonic boost glide weapons to penetrate modern enemy air defenses and rapidly and precisely engage critical time sensitive targets. DARPA awarded Exquadrum a $15.1 million Prime Contract in September 2018. Exquadrum partnered with key subcontractor, Dynetics of Huntsville, Alabama, in order to achieve DARPA’s challenging technical and programmatic objectives. (more…)

The Low-Cost Turbopump for Expendable Launch Technology (LCTPA) program engineered and fabricated a low-cost turbopump to meet the cost objectives of the DARPA XS-1 vehicle engine

The US Air Force named Exquadrum a “Designated Subcontractor” for the Heated and Mobile Munitions Employing Rockets (HAMMER)program and gave us the mission to develop a munition designed to thermally neutralize Chemical and Biological Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) (more…)

Exquadrum developed an innovative, yet highly cost effective, approach to the fabrication of new arcjet heater segments for this research project. Segmented arcjet heaters support the critical development of hypersonic capabilities for the US DoD. Arcjet facilities reproduce thermal environments encountered during flight from Mach 8 to 20. Work completed on the program resulted in the award of US Patent 7,509,851 B1
