Royal Ordnance electrothermal gun system model (ROSETTE): an update

ROSETTE (Royal Ordnance System for Electrothermal Enhancements), a model for predicting the physical and dynamic characteristics of an electrothermally enhanced chemical (ETC) gun system, is discussed. At the two extremes it can handle either conventional propellant or pure electrothermal gun systems. The authors give an update on the model's development and present a parametric study of an ETC artillery system.<
