An applied research and development program is being conducted on prepackaged hybrid propellant systems suitable for application to advanced tactical missile requirements. An 18-in.-diameter flight configuration hybrid motor has been designed, fabricated, and tested in three motor firings. A high density, high specific impulse, hybrid propellant combination has been formulated; and a fuel grain has been developed which will provide nearly constant fuel flow rate and will permit nearly complete fuel utilization. Dual-thrust injectors have been developed and successfully tested. A simple thrust control system has been designed, which will control the motor thrust at two levels and will permit multiple starts at either thrust level. The results of the program indicate that high density hybrid propulsion systems are feasible for application to advanced tactical missiles. (Author)
