Missile Rocket Propulsion Integ & Demo
Abstract
This project develops and demonstrates technologies for strategic systems (including solid rocket motor boosters, post boost control, and aging and surveillance efforts) and tactical rockets. Characteristics such as environmental acceptability, affordability, manufacturability, reliability, responsiveness, reduced weight, and reduced operation and launch costs are emphasized. Rapid design, characterization, demonstration, and rapid manufacturing are key goals while ensuring increased life and performance. Technology areas investigated include ground demonstrations of compact, lightweight, advanced propulsion technologies and high-energy propellants. This project demonstrates 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. The efforts in this project contribute to the sustainment of the rocket propulsion industry, providing rocket propulsion technology for the Department of Defense (DoD). The efforts in this project are reviewed by a DoD level steering committee annually for relevance to DoD missions. In FY 2025, the entirety of PE 0603216F, Aerospace Propulsion and Power Technology, Project 634093 Missile Rocket Propulsion Integ & Demo, is transferred to PE 0603211F, Aerospace Technology Dev/Demo, Project 634093 Missile Rocket Propulsion Integ & Demo.
