Welcoming our new LSVR MKR18 to El Segundo this week. We’ll be making upgrades to convert this vehicle into a launcher system for our upcoming flight tests - and it’s a fun ride.
This weekend, Castelion successfully conducted the first flight of our hypersonic test platform - a major milestone for the company.
This kicks off a series of flight tests planned to enable rapid iteration on our internally designed and manufactured weapon sub-systems.
We’re excited to announce our $14.2M initial funding round co-led by
@a16z
and
@LavrockVC
, with participation from First In,
@blueyard
, and Champion Hill Labs, to make timely and affordable overmatch possible. Let's build!

We're sprinting toward affordable, mass produced deterrence - join today.
Just this weekend, the Castelion team:
- Casted another hypersonic-capable solid rocket motor
- Launched a sub-scale rocket to test our avionics package
- Completed a full dry dress ahead of our first 1.0 vehicle flight
Increasing the velocity of design-built-test cycles...
Castelion convoy rolling out to West Texas for the next iteration of our solid rocket motor factory.
Pace of learning and improvement matters for production just as it does for design.
Castelion is proud to be featured as a leading Emerging Innovator in Hypersonics in Booz Allen Hamilton's new report "Top 10 Emerging technologies for the DoD and National Security"
