A dual pulse solid rocket motor has several advantages compared to the single one. The range and the terminal velocity of the guided missile can be remarkably increased by the application of the pulse separation device(PSD) to the solid rocket motor which resulted in appropriate thrust distribution. In this study, the subscale dual pulse solid rocket motor with the bulkhead type PSD was designed, manufactured, and fire-tested. The bursting pressure, thermal characteristics, and the structural safety of the PSD were obtained by the tests and the results will be applied to the design of full-scale dual pulse rocket motor.

A multiple pulse rocket motor distributes the thrust energy more effectively compared to typical rocket motor as providing subsequent thrusts by the pulse motors of the missile. The pulse rocket motor is the advanced technology to improve an end game capability of the missile by increasing the range and final velocity. A pulse separation device is the core part of the pulse motor. The pulse separation device of bulkhead type was designed and developed. The elastic-plastic structural analysis of the bulkhead and rupture disc was conducted. Several air tests were also conducted to confirm the structural safety and acceptability about the design concept. Test results were compared with the analysis results, which showed reasonable agreements.
