Kymeta Corporation and Innovative Rocket Technologies Inc. (iRocket) have engaged in a strategic collaboration to develop, integrate, and test Kymeta’s conformal, multi-orbit technology within iRocket’s missile interceptors.
iRocket views the partnership with Kymeta as a catalyst for breakthrough capabilities in national security and defense.
The partnership between Kymeta and iRocket will enable a new generation of always-connected, highly responsive interceptor systems.
Kymeta and iRocket will begin joint development and testing immediately, with initial integration trials planned for the second half of 2026.
Kymeta's integration of its conformal technology into iRocket's missiles will deliver multi-orbit, real-time satellite connectivity and mid-course updates.
The collaboration will enable iRocket to build smarter, faster, and more efficient defense systems.
The lightweight, low profile of metamaterial components combined with iRocket’s propulsion capabilities will significantly improve mission performance.
