Small Solid Propellant Rockets for Field Use.

Abstract

The specialists' meeting is devoted to technological problems associated with propulsion systems of advanced small rocket motors for anti-tank, anti-aircraft, and light artillery rockets. After specification of the requirements for the three types of weapon systems, problems of systems development will be discussed including the optimization and matching of propulsion systems as well as new methods for control and thrust vectoring. High energy solid propellants and ignition problems will be reviewed. A discussion of important problems of application, such as noise and shock effects on the gunner, will terminate the sessions.
