Tactical missile rocket motor

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. 

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... 

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. 

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.
