The system will reside at Rocket Center, West Virginia, Orbital ATK which is a Government owned contractor facility and will be used for Additive Manufacturing to aid in the design and production of warheads with complex geometries otherwise unattainable with traditional machining methods and to drastically decrease engineering design turnaround time due to the ability to rapidly iterate production of sequential test items. Orbital ATK is currently using the EOS M280 (the earlier version of the M290) to manufacture the classified additive manufacturing parts for Phase I of the Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC) program. The EOS machine is required to build the production parts because the design was validated for production on an EOS machine.
