Abstract:
The prepackaged liquid propulsion concept requires hermetic sealing of the propellants at the factory in the propulsion hardware. This requirement in turn imposes certain requirements on the properties of the propellant system which are to be used in the prepackaged propulsion systems. These are: low decomposition rate over the missile's operational temperature range, low corrosivity to tankage materials, low vapor pressure, and relatively constant physical properties over the storage life of the missile. Liquid oxidizers and fuels, both neat and gelled, which meet the prepackaged requirements are listed and their potentials and deficiencies are discussed. Technology areas requiring investigation are also briefly discussed.
