If this is claimed only because of the engine then I doubt it -- the defense industry uses solid-fuel rocket engines in almost all cases except large missiles like IBCMs. Although, anyone who manages to mass-produce cheap, reliable, high-performance solid-fuel engines may indeed gain a huge defense market.
The US uses solid fuel rockets in ICBMs. Russia uses storable liquids which are highly toxic. We switched after some nasty accidents.
