The proven expertise of the Rolls-Royce LibertyWorks team – in areas like subsonic, supersonic, and hypersonic propulsion; electrical power; thermal management; and mobile nuclear power – has shaped technology solutions applicable to a wide range of missions and customers.

LibertyWorks has worked with technology organizations of the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, as well as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, NASA, and others to transform concepts to realities for three decades.

The LibertyWorks team developed advanced technologies contributing to the Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) capabilities of the LiftSystem used in the Technology Demonstrator – forerunner to the revolutionary U.S. Marine Corps F-35B.

The team also developed technologies supporting platforms like the subsonic U.S. Navy MQ-25 Stingray autonomous refueling platform and the new U.S. Army MV-75 Future Long Range Assault Aircraft, and continues work in areas like air breathing hypersonic propulsion to support future needs. LibertyWorks is also proud to be part of the U.S. Department of War’s Project Pele advanced nuclear microreactor.

To support LibertyWorks and its other U.S. defense operations, Rolls-Royce North America has invested more than $1 billion in technology enhancements, facility upgrades and test capabilities in Indianapolis over the past decade.

In the United States, Rolls-Royce employs more than 5,000 people and supports hundreds of American suppliers in 34 locations across 26 states. Rolls-Royce operations contributed $6.2 billion to the U.S. economy in 2024.
