Abstract
- Combustion stability remains a technical issue in some solid rocket motor development programs because techniques to characterize propellant and motor during a development program either do not exist or are inadequate. Moreover, the situation will remain uncertain until one or more stability related diagnostics that are routine, inexpensive, introduce no risk, and 'industrial strength' are qualified and accepted by the Department of Defense (DoD) and commercial customers. This paper describes an empirical diagnostic technique--passive motor diagnostics--with this potential and illustrates some of its characteristics. This methodology will provide customers with a level of confidence, after early development firing, that does not exist today.
