ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Jan. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- X-Bow Systems Inc (X-Bow), the leading non-traditional producer of advanced manufactured solid rocket motors (SRMs) and defense technologies, announced today that it has successfully achieved Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 certification. This milestone underscores X-Bow's commitment to safeguarding sensitive Department of War (DoW) information and supporting national security with mission-obsessed precision and wartime speed delivery.
"Cybersecurity is a top priority for X-Bow as we support our national security customers in safeguarding critical information," said Jason Hundley, X-Bow CEO.

- Fewer than 1% of the estimated 80,000+ defense contractors required to achieve CMMC Level 2 certification have completed the rigorous third-party assessment process.
- X-Bow joins an elite group of just hundreds of organizations certified at this level, enabling it to deliver warfighting advantages with speed and reliability.
