Joint Service BriefingTo Industry OnInsensitive MunitionsKey representatives of the four ser-

vice branches met on 3-4 December,1987, at the Naval Surface WeaponsCenter in White Oak, Maryland, tobrief Defense Department contractorson the current status of Insensitive Mu-nitions (IM) programs . In general, IMprograms are concerned with reducingthe hazards associated with ordnancecontaining propellants, explosives, andpyrotechnics . The briefing, which wasorganized by the American DefensePreparedness Association (ADPA),was attended by approximately 200ordnance experts. The keynote addresswas given by Rear Admiral Ming E .Chang, Deputy Commander forWeapons and Combat Systems with theNaval Sea Systems Command in Wash-ington, D.C . The rationale for havingthe briefing was to make representa-tives from industry aware ofjoint ser-vice efforts in the IM area .Overviews of the individual Ser-

vice's IM requirements were followedby detailed presentations of their IMtechnology programs . Organizationallythe conference was divided into threemain sessions, which were devoted topropellants, explosives, and pyrotech-nics, and covered all relevant militaryordnance . The Navy Departmentpresently has the most highly devel-oped IM program. In fact, the Navyhas had an ongoing effort in this fieldbecause of recurring shipboard ord-nance accidents, especially aboard air-craft carriers . Ordnance accidents oncarriers have claimed the lives ofmorethan 250 sailors and have cost the Navyapproximately $200M since 1966 . Al-ready, tangible results can be seen insome Navy ordnance .

The SRAM Launching .

SRAM SuccessfullyLaunchedMarking another first in the devel-

opment and testing of the newest U.S .strategic bomber, the Air Force hassuccessfully launched a Short RangeAttack Missile (SRAM) from the B-1Bbomber. The SRAM's payload hadbeen removed and replaced with an in-strumentation package. The SRAM isa highly accurate, strategic air-to-ground missile which provides a capa-bility to attack heavily defended tar-gets . The launch, part of the USAF'sB-1B flight test program, was conduct-ed on the Tonopah Test Range, LasVegas, Nevada on January 16, 1987 .The SRAM was launched from thebomber at about 500 feet while the air-craft was traveling at 0.9 Mach .

Propellant ProcessingWorkshop HeldThe JANNAF Propellant Character-

ization Subcommittee (PChS) spon-sored a workshop on propellantprocessing technology on 28 January1987 at the Johns Hopkins UniversityApplied Physics Laboratory, Laurel,Maryland . The workshop was or-ganized and chaired by Marjorie Du-cote of the US Army MissileCommand . Despite record-settingsnowfall during the days preceding themeeting, twenty-two propellant pro-cessing scientists braved the elementsto participate in this workshop .

Mitchell Gallant of the Naval Sur-face Weapons Center, White Oak,presented results from his experiencewith continuous processing ofPBXN-106, a plastic bonded explosive,with a twin-screw extruder, technolo-gy being transfered from the Fraun-hofer Institute for Propellants andExplosives (ICT) in West Germany .Results indicated propellant propertiessimilar to those from conventionalbatch processing .

Joseph Campbell of the Aerojet Stra-tegic Propulsion Company, Sacramen-to, presented preliminary results fromhis work with emulsion processing .While strictly a basic research project,emulsion processing may provide amethod for producing clean, high-burn-rate propellants incorporating newtypes of oxidizers which remain in aliquid melt phase surrounded by a sol-id polymer matrix .Michael Bonnano of the Army Bal-

listic Research Laboratory, AberdeenProving Ground, detailed his workwith torque rheometry . This techniqueallows one to study propellant flow andcure behavior of batch-scale process-ing with lab-scale samples.

vices have similar weapon hazard prob-lems, though not as acute as theNavy's . Many ordnance specialists(both in government and industry) havediscerned a need for interservice stan-dardization of IM requirements andcooperative technological efforts in thisarea . For this reason, a special studygroup of flag and general officers hasagreed upon the following joint ServiceIM requirements : fast cookoff-max-imum event confined to burning in test-ing ; bullet impact-maximum eventconfined to burning in testing ; sym-pathetic detonation-no reaction in test-ing, although this test would only beperformed if analysis shows this threatto be possible . Other sensitivity testswere identified as possible service-unique IM requirements ; they include :slow cook-off, fragment impact,electro-magnetic pulse, spall, shaped-chargejet, and electrostatic discharge .Participants stressed that funding forIM programs exists ; therefore, it ishoped that one outcome of this meet-ing will be an influx of technologyproposals and solutions from the pri-vate sector that will address the currentmunition sensitivity problems .

At 108 seconds into flight,the 520,000-lb-thrust first-stage liquidrocket engine ignites . The first stageburns for 165 seconds and drops awaybefore the 101,000-lb-thrust second-stage engine Ignites.Titan I engines produced at Aerojet

in the 1950s helped power one of thenation's first ICBMs .

Titan II engines were used for thenext series of ICBMs, which weredeployed in the early 1960s . Original-ly . the Titan II missile was designedto be on duty for three to four years .Most Titan Its were just recently

decommissioned . and it is this reliablemissile system that will now serve asthe Air Force SLV.The Titan II liquid propellant rock-

et engine was the first to utilize earth-storable propellants that are hypergol-ic (ignite on contact), an important de-velopment in the science of rocketry .Titan engines also powered all of themanned Gemini missions, successful-ly putting 10 two-man crews into earthorbit during 19 months in 1965 and1966 .In the mid-1960x, the Air Force

fielded one of the most reliable satel-lite launching vehicles ever produced,the Titan III . Several variants of thatsystem were produced over the years,lifting heavier payloads into space . Ti-tan IV is the latest version and the mostpowerful expendable launch vehicle inthe national inventory, capable of put-ting five tons of payload into geosyn-chronous earth orbit .

Marjorie Ducote presented a most in-teresting review of the developmentand processing problems ofTEPAN/TEPANOL bonding agents .Work at MICOM involving a prereac-tion step between TEPAN and perch-lorate oxidizers appears to solve theproblem of ammonia generation dur-ing propellant mix .

This meeting also served as a plan-ning session for future workshops .Harold Bennett of the Naval WeaponsCenter, China Lake, discussed the needto address the problems of cure shrink-age cracks and unmixed propellant incured motor grains . A planned work-shop at the PChS annual meeting willdeal with these topics .

Prior to this workshop a "PropellantProcessing Survey" was developed anddistributed by the CPIA to identify par-ticular areas of interest and concernamong the processing community . Sur-vey results indicated thatbonding/curing agents, process scale-up problems, continuous processingtechnology, and in-process quality con-trol were the main areas of interest .These results will serve as a referencefor future activities of the PChS Propel-lant Processing panel .The proceedings and conclusions

from this workshop will be presentedat the 1987 JANNAF Propellant Char-acterization Subcommittee Meeting inNovember and published as part of theannual meeting proceedings by theCPIA .

InternationalAerospace PlaneProgramsJANNAF organizations and their

contractors are currently lending tech-nical assistance to the National Aero-space Plane program, the Americanentry into the current internationalcompetition for low-cost access to

space . Parallel aerospace plane effortsare also underway in Europe, led bythe British, West Germans, and the Eu-ropean Space Agency (ESA) consorti-um . Therefore, it may be appropriateat this time to review the current in-ternational programs devoted towardsthe development of advanced, low-costtransportation vehicles to low Earth or-bit (LEO) .

BackgroundA number of conceptual design pro-

grams are underway to develop trans-portation vehicles to LEO as anevolutionary follow-on to the currentShuttle, Ariane, and expendable launchvehicle (ELV) systems . Due to the suc-cess of the Shuttle satellite repair mis-sions, a satellite servicing capability isone of the drivers for these new"spaceplane" vehicles .Current efforts range from the tech-

nologically modest ESA Hermes, anAriane upper stage, to the GermanSanger, to the revolutionary Hotol andNASP programs . While the Sovietsalso have an active shuttle program, itis, of course, cloaked in secrecy .Hermes . The ESA, led in large

part by the French, is funding concep-tual design work on a planned Hermesspace shuttle transport to augment theAriane booster system and competewith the U .S . Shuttle fleet for satelliteservicing and space station resupplymissions . Hermes, a manned shuttlevehicle with a crew of 4-6, using theAriane 5 booster for transport to LEOis planned to be operational in 1995 .

It will be equipped with an airlockfor extra-vehicular activity (EVA) sat-ellite servicing operations . Hermes,which will be smaller than the U .S .Shuttle vehicle, is not planned to beused for satellite launching/retrievalmissions . These will continue to be car-ried out by unmanned Ariane boosters .

Hotol.

The British, while membersof ESA, are largely absent from theHermes effort because of their ownHotol spaceplane effort, a project moretechnologically ambitious thanHermes . Hotol (horizontal takeoff andlanding) is a planned automated (un-manned), single-stage-to-orbit space-plane powered by hybrid LH2/LO2ramjet/rocket engines . Horizontal take-

5

off would be facilitated by a ground-based trolley based at conventionalairports .HASP. The U .S . National Aero-

space Plane (NASP) is envisioned asa follow-on reduced cost per payloadlaunch vehicle to transport payloads toLEO . The NASP will be powered bycombined-cycle engines, such as airturboram_jet (ATR) for the lower speedregimes . In the Mach 5-12 regime, .thesupersonic combustion ramjet providesthe most efficient engine cycle, whilerocket engines are required for exoat-mospheric operations .Sanger .

The West German Sangerspaceplane, named after EugeneSanger, who first proposed the conceptas an intercontinental bomber duringWorld War II, would use an airbreath-ing first-stage aircraft about the size ofa Boeing 747 but capable of speeds be-tween Mach 6-10 to carry the orbitalvehicle to an altitude of 18 miles . Theorbital vehicle would then detach andbe powered by a conventional cryogen-ic rocket engine to an orbital altitudeof 250 mi, with the first stage return-ing for a powered landing .

ConclusionsThese space vehicles will require ad-

vances in a number of technologyareas . New engine and thermal protec-tion materials that are high-strength,light-weight, and resistant to high-tem-perature oxidizing environments willhave to be developed . Advanced met-al matrix, carbon/carbon, andceramic/matrix composites are currentcandidate materials .The propulsion systems of these

spaceplane vehicles will also requiresignificant development . NASP andHotol will probably use hybrid air-breathing turboramjet/rocket (ATR/R)engines that are as yet unproven .Hermes and Sanger will use conven-tional rocket propulsion systems, al-though Sanger will use an advancedATR first stage . The unmanned Hotolvehicle will also require advances in ar-tificial intelligence for flight control .The designs of these vehicles will

likely change during their long devel-opment periods . Other nations, such asJapan, can also be expected to proposeadvanced spaceplane vehicle programs .
