Abstract

See full text

A selectable ramjet propulsion system for propelling a rocket or missile includes a gas generator adjacent a booster. A frangible diaphragm is disposed between the gas generator and the booster. The booster and fuel gas generator can be operated in normal sequence, or operated at the same time in order to increase the thrust produced for short-range missions. A logic circuit contained on the rocket or missile determines a time to rupture the frangible diaphragm based on whether or not the distance to the target exceeds a threshold distance.
