Insensitive Oxidizer for Tactical Applications (IOTA)

During the proposed Phase II research and development effort, the project team will scale-up the production capacity of the Insensitive Oxidizer for Tactical Applications (IOTA) solid propellant oxidizer alternative to Ammonium Perchlorate (AP). The candidate solid oxidizer will be formulated into a solid propellant that will demonstrate a greater density-specific impulse performance when compared to a typical AP/hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene/aluminum composite propellant. A 5-inch diameter solid rocket motors based on the IOTA advanced oxidizer solid propellant will be designed and fabricated. The solid rocket motor will be static, hot-fire tested. Finally, a Slow Cook-Off test will be conducted to demonstrate compliance with Insensitive Munitions (IM) requirements set forth by 10 USC ¦ 2389. Approved for Public Release | 23-MDA-11635 (9 Nov 23)
