Apollo Micro Systems to Co-develop Rocket Motors for BM-21 Grad ER and Non-ER Rockets

Apollo Micro Systems Ltd. has announced that its step-down subsidiary, Apollo Strategic Technologies Private Limited (ASTPL), has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Dynamic Engineering and Design Incorporation- United States of America. The MoU aims to transfer, co-develop, and potentially license produce Rocket Motors for BM-21 Grad ER and Non-ER Rockets at DSEI London, on 10.09.2025. This strategic step is taken to indigenise propulsion technologies for multi-barrel rocket systems and enhance self-reliance in critical defence systems under the Make in India initiative. Apollo Group has already successfully developed the 122mm rocket warhead in-house and is now gearing up to start immediate trials and further establish full-scale production by mid-2026. This strategic collaboration will enable Apollo to integrate indigenously developed warheads with domestically produced rocket motors, marking a significant milestone in India’s private defence manufacturing sector.
