Development and Testing of an Ice Protection Technique for the 2.75 Inch Rocket System

Abstract

The 2.75 Inch Rocket System requires a means of protection from ice and environmental debris. A program was successfully pursued that produced one solution to this problem. The Environmental Protection device has to (1) break out when a rocket is fired and (2) withstand rocket blast in order to provide protection to the remaining rounds. A series of plastic domes met these requirements.
