Vol. 7 No. 1 (2021): PENELITIAN PEMBUATAN SISTEM BOOSTER MOTOR ROKET

There are several launcher systems that can be used to launch missiles, including a catapult launcher system and a system using a booster rocket motor. Petir Missile, which is being developed by the R & D Body of the Ministry of Defense currently uses a catapult system. However, since 2018, research and development of rocket booster for Petir Missiles has been carried out. In this research, the rocket motor booster system that will be used as the initial booster of the missile is designed, analyzed, and tested. This launcher is expected to provide a more compact and faster launch system in preparation for operation. With a thrust generated of more than 350 kgf for less than 1 second, it is expected that the missile can exit the launcher properly at a minimum stall speed of 150 km/h.
