Charge scattering rocket propulsion system - has igniter charge to actuate excess of propulsive charge to destroy remaining parts

摘要

To spray crops from the air or to treat clouds chemically, or to distribute anti radar media, etc., a rocket (12) can be used. This contains a propulsive charge (124) of E.G. propergol powder, which is greater than that required to reach the largest area. This is partially surrounded by the medium (130) to be dispersed, leaving an unburnt portion (128) inside the latter charge (130). Ahead of this is a detonating charge (132) which can be fired by e.g. an electric detonator (134). In this way, the remainder (132) of the explosive charge can be ignited so as to destroy all the remaining parts of teh rocket and casing. The electric detonator can be remote operated.
