Индия получила патент на новый безопасный ракетный топливный состав

Researchers from the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and the Advanced Centre of Research in High Energy Materials (ACRHEM) at the University of Hyderabad (UoH) secured a patent for a novel high-energy compound aimed at applications in solid rocket propulsion. The patent for the Next Generation Solid Rocket Propellant Fuel was granted . The invention by Muddamarri Hanumantha Rao and Muralidharan Krishnamurthi of UoH relates to the synthesis, structural elucidation and energetic properties of BAM-H24, a boron-, hydrogen- and nitrogen-rich energetic compound. It combines enhanced safety characteristics with high-energy performance and exhibits strong chemical and thermal stability and high resistance to impact and friction, potentially making its handling and storage safer. The material is also expected to offer high specific impulse and reduced ignition delay, which could improve energy efficiency and performance in solid rocket propulsion systems. Its non-hygroscopic nature, meanwhile, is expected to help prevent moisture absorption and preserve propellant integrity under humid or demanding storage conditions. “The patent marks a collaborative research achievement between DRDO and the UoH and highlights the potential of academia-defence partnerships in developing indigenous high-energy materials. The technology could contribute to safer manufacturing and operational logistics while supporting India’s efforts towards greater self-reliance in defence technologies,’’ UoH said in a release on Wednesday.
