Firehawk Aerospace
Texas-based maker of 3D-printed solid rocket motors and hybrid propellant, scaling U.S. rocket-propellant manufacturing capacity.
Firehawk Aerospace is a rocket-propulsion company headquartered in Dallas, Texas, developing 3D-printed solid rocket motors and hybrid propellant to replace traditional propellant casting (large molds, up to two months of curing, hazardous chemicals) with additive manufacturing that prints propellant grains layer by layer in complex geometries. The company operates a 636-acre rocket production campus in Crawford, Mississippi, a 340-acre facility in Lawton, Oklahoma, and static-fire/flight-test ranges (including a 30-square-mile launch range) in West Texas. Firehawk has raised approximately $88.3 million across 7 rounds, most recently a $60 million Series C led by 1789 Capital with participation from Draper Associates, Boka Capital, Stellar Ventures, Plains Ventures, and others, at a reported $290 million valuation. Prior government work includes AFWERX/U.S. Air Force contracts (including a $4M award) for 3D-printed rocket propulsion technology. In August 2026, Firehawk was one of four companies (with iRocket, Nammo Perry, and Albers) awarded an individual U.S. Army Other Transaction Authority prototype agreement via the One Nation Innovation marketplace to help diversify Hydra-70 rocket production.
