| Résumé : |
The future of enhanced missile systems hinges on the development of significant innovative improvements in the manufacturing of composite solid rocket motor casings. Current manufacturing of composite motors is extremely laborious. Cornerstone Research Group, Inc. (CRG) has developed a novel rotomolding technology to significantly adjust the cost-versus-performance tradeoff for composite solid rocket motors (SRM). The approach involves full development of a novel rotomold process technology to manufacture SRM in a much less expensive manner while allowing for improved performance insulation designs. The rotomold process will result in low-cost-pre-insulated leave-in-mandrels. These mandrels will be inserted into the traditional filament winding manufacturing process currently used to manufacture SRM. This approach will eliminate more than 50% of the manufacturing labor. Additional benefits exist in the capacity to customize insulation designs as needed to improve performance. This paper presents the progress made in this research, including discussions on the development of the rotomolding process, demonstration of feasibility, process characterization, and future plans. |
