U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Dillon Pierce assembles experimental rockets in a Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) space systems lab in support of his doctoral research on low-cost missile development strategies that explore trading less critical performance characteristics for development cost and time. This incremental, iterative development process inspired NPS’ Tactical Missile Innovation Prize Challenge, launched in January 2026. (Courtesy photo)
