Research abstract
The objective of this proposal is to further explore and refine the use of hydrogen based propellants for use in high velocity gun systems. This proposal will build on the ongoing and very novel research being conducted with direct combustion of hydrogen-oxygen mixtures at high initial pressures. While the research performed to date has demonstrated the performance potential inherent in this approach, there remains need for additional work on non-invasive ignition, propellant storage and production, and combustion kinetics. In addition, the potential of side injector use for further performance enhancement and/or acceleration reduction will be explored.
