DefendTex currently operates a number of energetics facilities allowing for the formulation and manufacture of pyrotechnics, propellants and HE. Our propulsion facilities allow for the testing of propulsion units.
Our energetics manufacturing facilities include storage, QA, explosive lab and production facilities for cast composites and Polymer Bonded Explosives (PBX). Our production facilities are based on novel production technologies to leverage safe operations and high flow using a reduced footprint.
Our explosive test facility possesses extensive test capabilities for EO including a hard test stand for booster and propulsion elements.
