Rocket bomb

The heat peUet used for activation in these batteries is usually a mixture of a reactive metal such as iron or zirconium [7440-67-7] and an oxidant such as potassium perchlorate [7778-74-7]. An electrical or mechanical signal ignites a primer which then ignites the heat peUet which melts the electrolyte. Sufficient heat is given off by the high current to sustain the necessary temperature during the lifetime of the appHcation. Many millions of these batteries have been manufactured for military ordnance as they have been employed in rockets, bombs, missiles, etc.

Both arguments were flawed, of course, and Allied Intelligence later showed that the 14 ton V2 rocket bomb was in fact powered with liquid propellant, was guided using gyroscopes, and did indeed carry one ton of explosive. And on the 3rd September 1944 the first V2 fell on London. Some firework ...

Type 3 No 6 Mk 27 Rocket Bomb Model 1 was fin-stabilized, aircraft-launched, designed for use against formations of large enemy planes. It was cylindrical in shape with conical nose section which contd a Fuze, a Burster Charge and an Incendiary Shrapnel, consisting of WP (White Phosphorus) filled steel pellets. 

Type 3 No 1 Mk 28 Rocket Bomb Model 1 was to a certain degree similar to Type 3 No 6, except that it contd HE Filler instead of Incendiary (pp 86—87, Fig 66)... 

Baka Piloted Rocket Bomb was a suicide weapon designed to be controlled by a human pilot. It resembled a plane, was carried beneath.the fuselage of a bomber and released near its target. Three Type 4 Mk 1 Rocket Motors provided propulsion after Baka was released from the mother plane. The entire HE content of the Baka (1135 lbs of Type 91 Expl) (Trinitroanisole) was in the warhead of the nose. Baka was 19 ft 10 inches long with wingspread 16 ft 5 inches. Its warhead had Nose and Tail Fuzes (pp 116—17, Fig 88)...

Rocket Motors (Roketto Hasshaki) are devices designed to provide propulsive power (propel or launch) to a Bomb or Rocket Projectile of an inclined trough or barrel called Launchers One of such Rocket Motors is described and illustrated in the book of Tantum Hoffschmidt (Ref 7, p 172) under the title Rocket Launcher and Rocket Motor Model 10 . It is briefly described here under Rocket Launchers. They are also described in Ref 2, pp 120-1 Another Rocket Mortar (Type 4 Mk 1) is described here under ROCKET BOMBS as a device used to propel Baka Piloted Rocket Bomb (Ref 2, p 118)...

Booster Rocket. Any high-thrust unit or assembly that fires at take-off to get a missile(such as a rocket,bomb,shell) or an unmanned or manned aircraft, to which it is attached, started along its trajectory. Usually, a booster rocket produces a much greater thrust than the 2nd stage or sustained power plant of a rocket. Booster rockets are usually propelled by a solid propellant(such as in the Nike -Ajax missile) but liq proplnts are also used. The booster rocket should not be confused with ATO, JATO or RATO engines although there is a considerable similarity in design. A liquid-propelled booster rocket is used when the requirements are more extensive than normally available from solid-pro-... 

Five of the stockpile sites that store (or have stored) chemical agents configured in a variety of weapons (e.g., rockets, bombs, artillery shells, mortar rounds, and mines) have used, currently use, or will use incineration as the means of disposal. Requirements for these disposal facilities include techniques for monitoring products of incomplete combustion, acid gases, and heavy metals that may elude exhaust pollution abatement systems and be emitted with exhaust gases through the common stacks.

Sulphur mustard may be used as a chemical warfare agent in a number of ways. It may be delivered by artillery shell, rocket, bomb or aircraft spray. The agent is persistent and under cold conditions long-term contamination of ground may occur. Adequately protected troops would be expected to withstand well an attack with mustard gas. Precautions should be taken to ensure that protected troops do not carry mustard, for example on boots, into designated clean areas .
