This paper describes a number of technology advantages currently under development for tactical rocket motors which have direct application to land-based long-range rocket systems. Materials advances that enable superior inert mass fractions, along with innovative optimization design techniques have the potential to allow for increased rocket payload capacity, improved rocket range or increased rocket loadout from the volumetrically constrained environment of a land-based launcher.
