Galadyne is rethinking American missile platforms for scale.
American missile production is bottlenecked on cost, speed, and scalability. For years, solid rockets have been the status quo due to a historical need for low complexity. But solid rockets are slow to produce, hard to scale, and rely on vulnerable supply chains.
There’s now a decade of evidence in the commercial space industry proving it’s possible to produce liquid rockets at scale and manage their complexity with software. @_galadyne is bringing these innovations in liquid rockets to missiles.
They intend to deliver a product that can be produced rapidly on simple supply chains with the same practicality and readiness of existing missile platforms.
With experience at Saronic and SpaceX, Founder Chandler Luzsicza is an expert in solving hard engineering problems. We’re excited to lead this round in Galadyne and partner with them on the road ahead.
