Prometheus Energetics Plans Bloomfield, Indiana, Munitions Production Operations

02/27/2026
Prometheus Energetics, a merchant supplier of solid rocket motors, plans to establish operations in Bloomfield, Indiana. The approximately $600 million project is expected to create 375 jobs.

The investment will include the construction of a new headquarters and production facility, located near the Naval Surface Warfare Center – Crane, which will leverage shared equipment and services from the Department of Defense (DOD) Munitions Campus Program. Operations are scheduled to begin in 2027.

]"Today’s groundbreaking represents more than a new manufacturing facility, it represents opportunity,” said Dan Merenda, Chief Operating Officer of Prometheus Energetics. “We are building a campus designed for safe, modern, and scalable production, but most importantly, we are building a team. Prometheus is committed to recruiting and developing a highly skilled workforce here in Indiana who will play a direct role in strengthening our nation’s industrial base and supporting long-term readiness."

To support the project the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) committed an investment in Prometheus of up to $10 million in the form of incentive-based tax credits, up to $250,000 in workforce training grants, up to $2 million in conditional redevelopment tax credits and up to $2 million in conditional structured performance payments. These incentives are performance-based, meaning the company is eligible to claim state benefits once jobs are created.

“Prometheus’ decision to locate its headquarters and first production facility in Indiana solidifies our state as a critical part of the country’s national security efforts,” noted Indiana Governor Mike Braun. “The company’s new presence here and the broader collaboration across the Munitions Campus Program and with NSWC Crane will advance the country’s defense capabilities while supporting economic growth, workforce development and high-quality career opportunities in our rural communities.”

Prometheus Energetics is a defense joint venture formed in 2025 between Kratos Defense & Security Solutions and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems to manufacture advanced solid rocket motors and energetics for national security applications.
