Missile Rocket Propulsion
Abstract
This project develops rocket propulsion technologies for the design, development, and fabrication of strategic systems (including solid boost/missile motors, post boost control, aging and surveillance efforts), and tactical missiles. Analytical and experimental areas of emphasis are propellants, propellant management, combustion, rocket material applications, model-based system engineering, digital design of manufacture and test, test stand life-fire testing, and technology for sustainment of strategic systems. This project develops the next generation of physics-based modeling, simulation, and analysis (MS&A) tools for rapid and agile missile propulsion design, analysis, and production, as well as the digital engineering concepts to manage the entire process of design, test, and validation of solid rocket motors through live-fire tests. All efforts in this project contribute to the sustainment of the rocket propulsion industry, providing rocket propulsion technology for the entire Department of Defense (DoD). All efforts are reviewed by a DoD level steering committee yearly for relevance to DoD missions.
