Goal:
The goals are the followings:
- To provide a propulsive system which reproduce the actual firing table and surpasses the firing quality of the actual M67 propulsive system.
- The new propulsive system can be stored without control during 10 years, and still be usable without risk and ballistic deviation. (High ballistic stability)
In order to provide an easy handling of the propulsive system with low-sensitivity, ECL propellant in Donut Bag was chosen.
Samples of the propellant and the bags were successfully tested during firing test during 27July of 2015.
The direct firings results were:
- The firing table can be reproduced with a lowered Standard Deviation (SD).
- The cartridge and tube are clean after the firing.
A smaller PMax and a lower flame temperature mean an important reduction of the tube’s erosion.
A smaller SD means an increased precision and a highest probability of hit at first shoot.
