The Study of Solid Propellant to Reduce Infrared Signature

적외선(IR, Infrared) 신호가 감소된 고체추진제 개발

In this paper, a study of solid rocket propellant formulation is performed to suppress plume and reduce IR(infrared) signature which occurs in propellant combustion. The solid propellant to enhance the stealthy ability was formulated in terms of the kinds and the effects of afterburning suppressant on the ballistic performance and the amount of primary smoke. In addition, substantial decrease in plume and IR signature is confirmed by static firing test by a 4 inch standard motor.
