  • Firestorm is moving from Air Force and Army trials toward operational deployment in contested logistics.

Technical approach

As reported
3D Printing

HP Multi-Jet Fusion polymer manufacturing

xCell uses industrialgrade polymer 3D printing with globally available feedstock. Climate control keeps the system operational across environments.

Deployment

Containerized and transportable

The system fits in containers for rapid deployment forward. It operates off-grid, reducing logistical chains vulnerable to disruption.

Ecosystem

Open platform for partner designs

xCell enables production of systems designed by partner companies, not just Firestorm's own hardware.
