Firehawk Aerospace Receives Strategic Investment from Hanwha Defense USA

Nov 10, 2025
Firehawk Aerospace has received a strategic investment from Hanwha Defense USA to advance 3D printed solid rocket motor technology and accelerate production capabilities.

Firehawk Aerospace has secured a strategic investment from Hanwha Defense USA, a subsidiary of Hanwha Aerospace, announced in a press release. The funding will be used to advance Firehawk’s solid rocket motor technology, expand production, and integrate new propulsion systems leveraging its patented additive manufacturing process.

The investment aims to accelerate full-rate production of Firehawk’s 3D printed propellant and support the development and delivery of integrated missile systems. Firehawk’s approach to propulsion manufacturing is designed to increase efficiency and flexibility while reducing costs and production constraints.

Firehawk is currently building a 340-acre production facility in Lawton, Oklahoma, and conducts testing at two sites in West Texas. The company’s 3D printing technology enables rapid scaling of rocket motor production for defense applications.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
