ABSTRACT:
A solid propellant dual pulse rocket motor has a pressure vessel containing two pulse grains separated by a barrier insulator. An igniter assembly disposed at a fore end of the pressure vessel selectively ignites a first pulse grain from a central channel within the grain. The igniter assembly also ignites a second pulse grain by ejecting hot combustion gases onto the fore end of the grain. Using such an ignition arrangement, a dual pulse rocket motor may be constructed using standard off-the-shelf ignition components.
