This contract covers the design, development, testing and delivery of an improved rocket for the flechette warhead. Work included (1) design, analysis, and component tests; (2) development tests; (3) Preliminary Flight Rating Tests; and (4) delivery of improved rocket motors. Analyses included design trade-off studies, aerodynamics analysis, and manufacturing optimization studies. The improved design was successfully demonstrated through the preliminary flight rating tests and through flight tests, both ground-launched and aircraft-launched. Performance, reliability, and accuracy are within contract requirements. This final report is in two volumes. Volume I contains the program accomplishments and Volume II (AD-501 433) contains the Appendixes. (Author)
