Miniature rocketry has several potential applications, including surveillance and delivery of relatively light payloads. Fiber-based composite materials and integral motor/body designs enable much lower mass ratios than previously possible.

BTG Research anticipates that overcoming challenges such as minimizing drag forces, maximizing specific impulse, dissipating heat, optimizing nozzle design, grain configuration, and propellant chemistry can be overcome in a short time to produce miniature rockets near 100 grams in mass and under $20 in large scale production costs that can reach altitudes of 1 mile for surveillance applications and several miles for delivery of light payloads.
