Korean army currently considers the development of the advanced MLRS(Multiple Launcher Rocket System) as a new alternative, which responses on the renovation of the artillery and future battle field environment. Therefore, This study suggests that the development methods of MLRS based on the analysis of the future battle field environment, world wide development trends of the MLRS and operation states of the domestic MLRS. According to this study, the development methods of new generation MLRS should be included a 230/130mm combined launcher competible with conventional 227mm on the vehicle, advanced FCS(Fire Control System), GPS/INS integration navigation system, Pod of ammunitiom, ammunition carrring vehicle and guided rocket munitions, etc.

Throttleable rocket engines are in high demand due to the diversification of space missions. Pintle injector is known to be suitable for throttleable rocket engines, because of its high efficiency in overall thrust zone. In this study, the relationship between spray angle of a throttleable pintle injector and total momentum ratio based on hot fire test conditions was investigated. As a result, the spray angle in 100% and 60% throttling level is higher than the spray angle obtained by the case which considers only propellant mass flow rate, owing to higher total momentum ratio (TMR). The results of this study may be useful for predicting spray angle in hot fire test.

A multi pulse rocket motor(MPRM) 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 full scale heavy type dual pulse rocket motor with the bulkhead type PSD was designed, manufactured, and fire-tested. The bursting time and pressure of PSD were analyzed by the pressure, thrust and vibration results of static fire tests. As a result, the design requirement was verified that bursting pressure is lower than 30% of 2nd pulse operating pressure.

This paper describes on the study of mitigation technique in which a pyrosensor is automatically sensing the rate of risk of fire or explosion of solid rocket motor exposed to an unexpected fire and makes the rocket motor burn itself safely. SCO test was carried out with a rocket motor loaded with HTPB propellant, in which a thermal pyrosensor igniter was installed. The rocket motor in SCO test was located in an oven at $50^{\circ}C$ for 7 hours. The temperature was regulated to be elevated at the rate of $3.3^{\circ}C$ per hour. Results showed Type V(Burning) reaction in this SCO test.

In this study, the full scale flight type Dual-Pulse Rocket Motor(DPRM) with the bulkhead type Pulse Separation Device(PSD) was designed, manufactured, and fire-tested. The bursting time and pressure of PSD were analyzed by the pressure, thrust and vibration results of static fire tests and ablation of PSD was measured with 3-D coordinate measuring machine. As a result, PSD requirements, bursting conditions and thermal safety, were satisfied.

This study realizes the conceptual method to predict combustion instability in actual full-scale combustion chamber of rocket engines by experimental tests with model (sub-scale) chamber. The model chamber was designed based on the methodologies proposed in the previous work regarding geometrical dimensions and operating conditions, and hot-fire test procedures were followed to obtain stability boundaries. From the experimental tests, two instability regions are presented by the parameters of combustion-chamber pressure and mixture (oxidizer/fuel) ratio, which are customary for combustor designers. It is found that instability characteristics in the chamber with the adopted jet injectors can be explained by the correlation between the characteristic burning or mixing time and the characteristic acoustic time: In each instability region, dynamic behaviors of flames are investigated to verify the hydrodynamically-derived characteristic lengths of the jet injectors. Large-amplitude pressure oscillation observed in upper instability region is found to be generated by lifted-off flames.

The powder propellant rocket which uses micron-sized particles as fuel is storable and costly. Functions like thrust control and multiple-ignition can be realized by changing powder mass flow rate. In this paper, we discuss the theoretical performance of bi-propellant and mono-propellant powder rocket. When used as the fluidization gas, helium can improve specific impulse dramatically. The stability of the powder feeding device is preliminarily quantified through metal/N2O powder rocket hot fire tests.
