Methyl Centralite Coated M10 Propellant for the 25-mm Bushmaster Gun Projectiles

Abstract

The purpose of this project was to develop a deterred single-base propellant which would meet the chemical, ballistic, flash and noise requirements of the 25-mm Bushmaster gun system. Early work concentrated on developing a single-perforated, methyl centralite deterred M10 for the HEI-T round. Effort culminated in the production of lot RAD-PE-559-6 which was accepted by FACC and used as a reference lot for future propellant procurement.
