Conference Proceedings on Smokeless Propellants Held in Florence, Italy on 12-13 September 1985

Abstract

These Conference Proceedings contain 11 unclassified papers presented at the Propulsion and Energetics 66th (A) Specialists' Meeting on Smokeless Propellants. Questions and answers of the discussions follow each paper. The meeting was arranged in the following sessions: A Review of Smokeless Propellant Technology (1); Prediction and Measurement of Signature (3); Chemistry of Smokeless Propellants (12); and Smoke Measurements (4). The purpose of the meeting was to bring together specialized experts in the field of smokeless propellants in order to discuss the definitions of the various degrees of smokelessness, and provide the result of the investigations performed in the last years. The achievements were discussed in the Technical Evaluation Report, which suggests also several subjects for future investigations. Keywords: Inhibitors, Minimum smoke, Particle collection, Plume analysis, Reduced smoke, Solid rocket propellants, Rocket propulsion, Signature of propellants, Smokelessness, Smoke measurements, Double base propellants, and Rocket propellant binders.
