What they build

The product

After abandoning the RS1 orbital launch program in Feb 2025, the company rebranded to Long Wall and now builds Cyclops (exoatmospheric midcourse missile interceptor), RSX (hypersonic flight-test/target vehicle), and Ironwood (deployable launch GSE).

Why it matters

The thesis

A case study in reindustrialization pivots: a launch company repurposing its deployable-infrastructure DNA to attack the $30M-per-round SM-3 interceptor market with mass-producible alternatives. Also one of the few US sources of domestic hypersonic test hardware.
