#AFRL and @ursamajortech recently executed a flight powered by the Draper liquid rocket engine. This flight is an innovative step in the advancement of capabilities that strengthen deterrence and provide rapid global strike options for the @DeptofWar: go.mil/afrlarmd
The Affordable Rapid Missile Demonstrator sits staged for flight on Jan. 27, 2026. The missile was positioned on a specialized air log cart, used to transport and load the vehicle onto the Transportable Target Launcher. The flight was a key milestone in increasing the technology readiness level of the Draper liquid rocket engine. (U.S. Army photo by Ryan Harty)

Our CCA program is proving a modular, open-systems approach works. We can rapidly “plug-and-play” the best algorithms on any platform, breaking vendor lock & getting capabilities to the warfighter faster. dvidshub.net/r/hy2eqx @SecAFOfficial

Air Force validates open architecture, expands Collaborative Combat Ai

The CCA program validates a modular, open-systems approach, allowing the Air Force to rapidly integrate the best technology from any vendor to equip the warfighter faster.

Ursa Major
@ursamajortech1 Dec 2025
In preparation for the first flight test, Ursa Major has successfully static fired the Affordable Rapid Missile Demonstrator (ARMD), powered by the Draper liquid rocket engine, as part of the @AFResearchLab (AFRL) initiative to rapidly demonstrate affordable hypersonic munition concepts. In this recent ground test, Ursa Major static fired ARMD for the full-duration mission cycle and demonstrated bipropellant operations. This static fire comes just over six months after AFRL contract award. #FlyFaster
