Prometheus Energetics to establish SRM, munitions production facility in Indiana

The American Center for Manufacturing & Innovation and Prometheus Energetics, a merchant supplier of solid rocket motors established through a new corporation between Kratos Defense (KTOS) & Security Solutions and RAFAEL Advanced Defense Systems, announced an agreement to build a new energetics, SRM and munitions production facility in Bloomfield, Indiana. Prometheus’ 550-acre headquarters and production facility will leverage shared equipment and services from the Department of Defense Munitions Campus Program, awarded to ACMI Federal, and will be built on the campus near Crane Army Ammunition Activity and Naval Surface Warfare Center – Crane. Prometheus’ facility will serve as an anchor for the campus and will be attractive to multiple companies involved with the subcomponent supply chain. This campus and its capabilities will lower the barriers to entry for new startups into the segment while enabling established companies to rapidly test, refine, and collaborate on technologies, accessing shared resources that will allow more companies to achieve production at scale.Construction is slated to commence on the campus in the second half of 2025, with the Prometheus facility opening in phases starting in 2027.
