DEVELOPMENT OF VIBRATION RESISTANT PROPELLANTS FOR THE M91 CARTRIDGE FOR PROPELLANT ACTUATED DEVICES. II. SINGLE GRAIN EXTRUDED CHARGE

Abstract

An integrated assembly of a single, extruded, multiperforated, propellant grain and the required igniter charge was developed which met the ballistic specifications at normal temperature for the M91 cartridge for propellant actuated devices. To provide for high vibration resistance, the propellant grain was bonded to the case and the igniter was bonded to the top surface of the grain. While this concept has been shown to be feasible, widespread application of this system to PAD cartridges is not warranted since a different single grain propellant charge would have to be extruded for each cartridge type.
