5” - 8” Solid Rocket Motor Test Cell

Designed for motors generating up to 3000 lbf of thrust

Capability Description: The tactical rocket motor test cell was designed for motors generating up to 3000 lbf of thrust, and accommodates diameters from 5” to 8”. A calibrated thrust measurement system (TMS), combined with transient pressure data, provides specific impulse evaluation.

Key Features:

Measures thrust up to 3000 lbf
Adaptable for motors between 5” and 8” in diameter

Benefit to Warfighter/Customer:

Enables ground-based test demonstrations of solid rocket motors ranging from 5” – 8” in diameter. These tests aid in optimizing SRM performance by guiding hardware design and propellant formulation for the benefit of both military and commercial customers.
