NanoBoost Propellant System

NanoBoost is an advanced SRM propellant engineered for:

  • Controllable thrust profiles

  • High burn rate & energy density

  • Enhanced tactical responsiveness

  • Integration across SRMs of varying scale

NanoBoost™ supports propulsion systems for missiles, drones, hypersonic test vehicles, and research motors.

Energetic Materials R&D

Our research programs include:

  • Nanometal additive systems (Al/MgAl)

  • Binder & oxidiser matrix development

  • Thermal stability improvement

  • Combustion efficiency optimisation

  • Reduced-signature tactical propellants

Solid Rocket Motor Architecture

NPL designs and models SRM systems with a focus on:

  • Grain geometry & burn shaping

  • Chamber pressure simulation

  • Nozzle design & erosion modelling

  • Thermal management & insulation

  • Booster and tactical-class SRM variants

Testing & Validation

We conduct structured R&D cycles aligned with Defence standards:

  • Bench-scale combustion evaluation

  • Material characterisation

  • Subscale SRM static fire articles (10–200 N class)

  • High-fidelity performance modelling
