Europe’s Solid Rocket Motor Industry: Structural Constraints and Strategic Consequences
Europe’s defence posture is entering a phase where industrial reality matters more than political declarations, and nowhere is this clearer than in the race to secure enough solid rocket motors to sustain modern missile forces. The conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have revealed a simple truth: Europe cannot deter, defend or project stability if it cannot produce the propulsion systems that power its interceptors, its strike weapons and its air-defence architecture. Behind every headline about missile shortages lies a deeper structural challenge that most observers overlook, and that only a handful of analysts are tracking with precision. This report explains why the bottleneck in solid rocket motors is becoming one of the defining strategic constraints for Europe, how it shapes readiness and deterrence, and which companies and governments are quietly moving to close the gap. If you operate in defence, industry, finance or policy, understanding this bottleneck is no longer optional. It determines the credibility of procurement plans, the resilience of stockpiles and the future of European security.
