Multi-Functional, High Performance, IM-Compliant, Composite Case for Solid Rocket Motor

Physical Sciences Inc. has successfully demonstrated the operational capability of a filament wound composite case designed to mitigate against slow cook-off, fast cook-off, bullet and fragment impact threats for solid rocket motor (SRM) systems. The implemented manufacturing, quality control and assurance processes enable production of small and large diameter motors to satisfy strategic and tactical missile system requirements. The proposed effort continues scale-up demonstration to quantify the efficacy response of the insensitive munition (IM) compliant composite case as a function of two SRM configurations within relevant threat hazard environments. The results generated will provide critical assessment of the munition size and type targeted for prototype validation in an operationally configured missile system in Phase III.
