AP composite propellants without aluminum particles are termed reduced-smoke propellants and are employed in tactical missiles to conceal their launch site and flight trajectory. No visible smoke is formed when the relative humidity of the atmosphere is less than about 40%. However, since high-frequency combustion oscillation tends to occur in the combustion chamber in the absence of solid particles that serve to absorb the oscillatory energy, a mass fraction of 0.01-0.05 of metallic particles is still required for the reduced-smoke propellants. These particles and/or their oxide particles generate thin smoke trails. The white smoke trail includes the white fog generated by the HCl molecules and the condensed water vapor of the humid atmosphere. 

Hercopel a unique all-epoxide cure composite solid propellant with excellent mechanical and ballistic properties. Its outstanding performance in extended environments makes it well suited for tactical missiles Double-Base Solid Propellants a wide variety of physical and ballistic properties which can be tailored to meet specific performance requirements. Their high specific impulse and excellent reproducibility are two of the many reasons Hercules double-base propellants are found in many of our rocket motors and gas generators used for both military and space applications... 

Honest John. Popular name for the US Army 762mm rocket system, a surface-to-surface tactical missile, employing a solid proplnt. It is launched from a rail-type launcher at an elevation which can be varied to obtn the desired point of impact. Honest John carries either a conventional HE warhead or a nuclear warhead...

RDX- or -based formulations are generally used in anti-tank bomblets and minelets using casting and pressing techniques. Warheads are based on conventional high explosives for most of the tactical missiles nuclear warheads are deployed only in strategic and certain tactical missiles by the nuclear club nations, namely USA, ex-USSR, UK, France, China and India. 

It is easier to replace free-standing grains if found defective on X-ray examination or if the propellant grain has aged excessively. Cartridge-loaded grains are used in some small tactical missiles and a few medium-sized rocket motors. It is easier to inspect them and their cost of production is also lower. 

Such polymeric materials or rubbers are known as insulating materials or insulators and the process of their application is known as insulation. The motor insulation not only provides protection to motor but also functions as an inhibitor. The case-bonded motors have a little less inert mass and as a result, give slightly better performance. However, they are more stressed and more difficult and expensive to manufacture. Many tactical missiles and almost all larger rockets or missiles for defense and space applications use case-bonded motors.

India Declared in June 1997 that it possessed a chemical weapons stockpile. Has begun to destroy its stockpile under the CWC. Its industry retains the ability to produce agent precursors - chemicals that can be used in chemical weapons production. Delivery systems include short-range anti-ship cruise missiles, air-launched tactical missiles, fighter aircraft, artillery and rockets. 

The use of missiles for tactical military applications has also been an area of major development since World War II. Among the first such applications were the JATO (rocket assisted takeoff) units used to provide power to boost launching of airplanes. Tactical missiles have become an important component of weaponry and include U.S. rockets such as the Navy Sidewinder and Standard Missile, the Army Hawk and Hellfire, and the Air Force Sparrow, AMRAAM, and Phoenix.

The objectives of the ongoing work is to explore the chemical synthesis of possible replacements for AP as an oxidizer in tactical missile rocket motors. The synthesis, sensitivities, thermal stability, binder compatibility and decomposition pathways of these new high-oxygen materials are currently being researched. In the following example, we theoretically want to evaluate, the suitability of nitrosyl (N0+) and nitronium (NCB,) oxalate as a potential ingredient for solid rocket propellants. 

In this study we assume firing the rocket motor against an ambient atmosphere (p = 1 bar) as it is commonly the case for tactical missiles.

The Soviet Union has the capability to deliver chemical munitions in ground, air, and naval combat. Just as in the Second World War, Soviet armed forces maintain a wide variety of potential delivery systems, including aerial bombs, spray tanks, tactical missiles, mines, rockets, artillery and mortar projectiles. The Department of Defense claims not only that the Soviets have such systems but that they have also developed the firing data on the utility of chemical weapons in battle situations , that is... 

A number of magnesium/fluorocarbon-based igniter materials are specified in Refs. [6, 7]. Magnesium/PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene)-based material were and are used in both strategic and tactical missile applications as shown below in Table 12.1.
