Radar Attenuation Measurements of Selected Solid Propellants and the Effect of Additives.

Abstract

The primary objective of Project EPIC was to characterize solid propellants with respect to radar attenuation by their plumes. This report presents transverse and diagonal radar attenuation data on four different solid rocket propellants: RHP-112, AAP-3318, UTP-11475 and AAB-3220. Transverse attenuation data for propellants containing each of nine different radar attenuation suppressants (Mo, B4C, Cr2O3, VOSO4, CoSnO3, PbCrO3, Pb, CuO, K2SO4) are also given. (Author)
