Northrop Grumman Completes Second Test of BAMM!29 2.0 Solid Rocket Motor Under SMART Demo Program
Northrop Grumman has successfully completed its second static-fire test of the BAMM!29 2.0 solid rocket motor as part of the SMART Demo program, following the earlier test of the SMASH!22 motor. Both motors, developed in under a year, utilize advanced materials and manufacturing techniques to enhance performance and reduce production times. The SMART Demo initiative, now in its third year, aims to accelerate the development and testing of solid rocket motors to meet industry demands.

Northrop Grumman has successfully conducted a second static-fire test of its BAMM!29 2.0 solid rocket motor, part of the SMART Demo program, just two months after testing the SMASH!22 motor. Both motors were developed within a year to validate new technologies and reduce production times.
BAMM!29 2.0 features advanced materials like carbon fiber and innovative manufacturing techniques to enhance performance. The SMART Demo initiative, now in its third year, focuses on rapid development and testing of solid rocket motors tailored to industry needs.
In 2025, Northrop Grumman developed both the SMASH!22 and BAMM!29 2.0 motors in under twelve months. Additionally, the company is involved in testing propulsion units for the US Army's Next-Generation Short-Range Interceptor in collaboration with Raytheon.
