Research abstract
A NEW SYSTEM, THE ANNULAR FLOW ELECTROTHERMAL PLUG RAMJET, IS PROPOSED AS A ALTERNATIVE TO CHEMICAL ROCKETS AND ELECTROMAGNETIC LAUNCHERS AS A KINETIC ENERGY WEAPON. THIS SYSTEM APPEARS TO BE CAPABLE OF ACHIEVING THE HYPERVELOCITIES NECESSARY IN REASONABLE LAUNCHER LENGTHS, PRIMARILY BECAUSE IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE EITHER THE PROPELLANT OR THE PROPULSION SYSTEM REQUIRED TO ACHIEVE HYPERVELOCITIES. THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS EFFORT WILL BE THE DEVELOPMENT OF KINEMATIC PERFORMNCE REQUIREMENTS FOR HYPERVELOCITY PROJECTILES, WHICH WILL BE USED TO DEFINE SYSTEMS DESIGN AND SUPPORT SUBSYSTEM TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENTS. OVERALL SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS WILL ALSO BE IDENTIFIED.
