Los Alamos National Laboratory, operating under the Department of Energy contractor TRIAD, is offering a technology licensing opportunity for a multi-burn solid rocket propulsion system. Identified by solicitation number S-133685 and US Patent No. 11,859,579-B1, this innovation enables multiple independently controllable impulses from a single solid rocket while maintaining high thrust, safety, and scalability. The technology utilizes a reusable ignition system and a resettable mechanism to rapidly extinguish and reinitiate combustion, allowing for precise thrust modulation and complex flight maneuvers. This opportunity is classified under NAICS 336414 for Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing and PSC 2845 for Rocket Engines and Components, with no set-aside (NONE) designated for the notice.
The propulsion system is designed for long-term storage and addresses market applications in aerospace, including reusable launch vehicles, defense and military operations, commercial satellites, and space tourism. The licensing program aims to transition this patented technology into commercial innovations through exclusive or non-exclusive agreements with existing or start-up companies. While the place of performance is Los Alamos, New Mexico, this notice is specifically for technology transfer and does not constitute a call for external development services.
Interested parties may review the technical summary attachment, FCI-tech-summary-MultiBurn.pdf, and must respond by the deadline of August 18, 2025. Kathleen McDonald serves as the primary point of contact for this special notice. The available technology is part of a broader effort by the LANL Technology Partnerships program to provide companies with cutting-edge capabilities that can enhance or revolutionize commercial products.
