ABSTRACT:
The invention is a propellant rocket motor case designed to meet insensitive munitions requirements comprising a propellant surrounded by a case having slots therein, and a wrapping around the case, the wrapping comprising a load bearing material which can withstand the hoop load on the case during normal firing of said rocket, the material also having the characteristic of losing strength or melting at undesired temperatures above normal storage temperatures, but below the autoignition temperature of said propellant, so that during undesired high storage temperatures the propellant will exhaust any subsequently generated gases, due to any subsequent propellant burning, by venting through said slots thereby avoiding any explosion or undesired operative one-way thrust.
