Department of War Invests $27.3 Million in Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company to Bolster Production Capacity for Arm Fire Devices

CHANDLER, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company (“PacSci” or “PacSci EMC” or the “Company”) announced today that the Department of War (DoW) has invested $27.3 million in Defense Production Act (DPA) Title III funds in Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company to expand the production of the universal Arm Fire Device (AFD), a critical safety component in solid rocket motor (SRM) applications.

This investment will enable PacSci EMC to scale-up production capabilities to serve high-volume manufacturing needs for SRM programs.

“This investment supports our ability to scale production, meet growing demand, and continue advancing innovative and reliable energetic systems,” said Corey Christmann, PacSci EMC President. “More importantly, it reflects confidence in our people and the discipline they bring to their work.”

This funding for PacSci EMC is one of several recent DPA Title III investments the DoW has made in the SRM supply chain to help alleviate shortfalls by increasing capacity and reducing manufacturing lead times for key SRM components. PacSci EMC will strengthen SRM production capability by modernizing and improving manufacturing processes.
