A rocket motor has an energetic material between solid fuel (propellent) and a casing that surrounds the solid fuel. The energetic material is configured to be burned along with the solid fuel during normal operation of the rocket motor to produce thrust. The energetic material can also be detonated to cause rupture of the casing. The detonation may be initiated as part of a flight termination process. The detonation may also be initiated as a part of process to prevent as a higher-order reaction, such as in reaction to heating from a fire or other cause. The energetic material may be arranged to function as part of a shaped charge, able to split the casing when detonated. By being located inside the casing, the energetic material does not adversely affect aerodynamics of the flight vehicle of which the rocket motor is a part, such as a missile.
