MK90 Propellant Grain for the HYDRA-70 Rocket Motor
ATK manufactures MK90 propellant, the exclusive propellant of the HYDRA-70, MK66 rocket motor. HYDRA-70 is the military's low cost, "fire-and-forget" 2.75 in. munition.
MK90's minimum smoke, low-signature propellant is manufactured using a unique rolling method to ensure reliability and precision. When ignited, the MK90 grain produces a low signature for battlefield concealment. When combined with other HYDRA-70 components, the MK90 grain is a tailor-made solution for both high explosive and submunition payloads, and can be used with smoke-and-illumination warheads. |
