We know that Ursa, X-Bow and Aerojet Rocketdyne¹ did get contracts for the MK 104 DTRM but what is new (to me atleast) is that X-Bow is also working on an MK.72 SRM². ¹https://www.c4isrnet.com/battlefield-tech/2024/04/08/ursa-major-to-build-rocket-motor-prototype-for-us-navy/...

...for testing. But if the photo that comes with the article is any guide, my hunch is that it's related to Rolling Airframe Missile. The Ursa Major test article looks like it has six tail fins and a slight boattail. Closest match I can find to that is RAM Block 2. Fins are not quite an exact...

Whatever they tested on wasn't a Standard, since the motor diameter is reported as less than 10 inches dismeter. Could potentially have been an ESSM or HARM/AARGM (on both, the missile diameter is 10 inches, so the motor would be slightly under 10). But the photo that comes with the article...

Just look at China's mini-turbojet market, where the economies of...

OH, as @Josh_TN pointed out, this is specifically for an Army program, so RAM is probably not related at all. Then again, no guarantee that photo is linked to the test, either. Space News has a totally different photo of a 6-inch rocket motor test, which also might not be related in any way...

I think, really it has to be a name from the Boeing or Lockheed tradition, although ,of course, Boeing incorporates McDonnell, who in turn incorporated Douglas, and Lockheed incorporate Martin, and GD/Convair. Trouble is, Boeing names are rather lacklustre, for fighters, anyway, 'Peashooter...
