Kratos issues LOI to L3Harris for 40 Zeus 1, 20 Zeus 2 hypersonic motors

Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (KTOS) announced that it has issued a letter of intent, LOI, to L3Harris Technologies (LHX) for an order of 40 Zeus 1 and 20 Zeus 2 hypersonic motors. “This strategic purchase of Zeus hypersonic rocket motors is a direct reflection and result of Kratos’ long-standing approach: investing our own capital to build capability, capacity, and inventory ahead of customer need,” said Eric DeMarco, President and CEO of Kratos. “By putting real product on the shelf and delivering real, ready-now systems at scale, we are fully aligned with Secretary Hegseth’s acquisition reform priorities to accelerate delivery, put our own skin in the game, and equip the warfighter faster and more affordably. We have a number of additional, low-cost hypersonic systems and products, certain of which are flying today, as we are committed to being the go-to, low cost, hypersonic system and hardware provider for the United States.”
