Title: Rolls-Royce Industrial and Marine Gas Turbine Division, (Rocket Department) Ansty: BS 645 - GAST 1210 Joint services surface to air weapon system. A preliminary feasibility design study of propulsion requirements
Description:

The preliminary proposals are made for two variants of a booster/sustainer packaged liquid propellant rocket engine to fulfil the requirements of GAST 1210 surface to air missile specification. Page 12: In 1600 firings over the temperature range -54 deg to +71degC, the LR 58 engine for Bullpup 'A' established a reliability rating better than 99.7%. There is naturally no relevant reliability figures for the engines proposed in this study. The Stentor and Gamma units have an excellent reliability record. For all Blue Steel R and D rounds fired, the Stentor engine has a reliability rating of 92.6%. This figure has naturally improved as the programme has progressed
