Startup Enters Hypersonic Market With Modular Missile

Ursa Major is unveiling a new hypersonic missile system called HAVOC, which is based on the company’s 4,000-pound-thrust Draper engine. The system is designed to be modular and adaptable, with a target price of under $3 million per unit. According to Ursa Major’s newly minted CEO Chris Spagnoletti, HAVOC can offer a form of maneuverability through its ability to throttle, making it harder to intercept. The company plans to mostly manufacture the system in-house and is expecting flight testing to commence imminently. This development was first reported by Breaking Defense.
