Investigation of Chain Ignition Hazards in the Stowage of Packaged Liquid Propellant Sparrow and Bullpup Motors in Deep and Ready Service Shipboard Magazines

Abstract

The objectives of the tests proposed herein are to: (1) Determine if chain ignition of packaged liquid propellant Bullpup and Sparrow motors, as stowed in deep or ready service shipboard magazines, is likely; (2) Evaluate the effectiveness of existing magazine sprinkling, detection and venting systems; (3) Determine the need for additional protective systems or equipment; and (4) Evaluate stowage hardware such as clamps and stanchions.
